- Presently there is one family in the system consisting of mom and three children. We have just been informed that there will be one more family of mom and four children and highly probable an additional mom, dad, and one child.
- This will result in four adults and eight children in our church from Sunday September 5 through Sunday September 12. This will be one of largest number of guests we have accommodated and your help is urgently needed.
- If any of you are uncomfortable preparing a meal for this many people, maybe you could partner with someone else and jointly prepare a meal or meals. We can provide some financial help with food purchases if needed - just let us know.
- The family presently in the system (mom and 3 children) and the additional family (mom and 4 children) do not have transportation. We would like some help with this in the mornings from UUCC to Grace United and in the afternoons from Grace United to UUCC.
- We also need help with evening hosts, overnight hosts, day hosts for Monday September 6 (Labor Day), and weekend hosts.
