NEED YOUR HELP

Our Saturday afternoon mobile soup kitchen continues to make meaningful contacts with scores of needy people each week and I love being part of it whenever I am able. Together with our Thursday food pantry, these two outreaches make up our Grace Care program.

We're running a huge fund raiser on September 15th to raise money for a new van to help us with food pick-ups, to take the stuff around on Saturdays and also to bring folks we connect with to church on Sundays. Our ancient Dodge van that we got five years ago for $100 is ready to go to that great wrecking yard in the sky, so here's what we're doing.

We have a team from the church running the 10k (6.2 miles) Great Cow Harbor Race on the 15th. I'm one of that team - and we're looking for sponsors.

So if you lurk here regularly and are encouraged, amused and even occasionally downright ticked off by what you see, do me a favor and go get your check book and write out a check to Grace Care.

You can mail it to our church mailing address -
Grace Ministries, 35 Pine Road, Coram, NY 11727

Mark it Roger's Race in the memo section.

If you're among my readers from Australia, South Korea, Nicaragua, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, India, UK or other foreign parts, you get a pass on this one.

But if you live in the good old USA - help a friend out and sponsor me for this run!
