Daily Bread Program - Feed the Homeless

First Baptist Church in Kissimmee sponsors the Daily Bread program which feeds homeless individuals and families in Osceola County at the Osceola Christian Ministry Center in Kissimmee. They arrange for local churches to come once or twice a month to provide a lunch time meal for around 125 people.

Our stake is participating in this program for 2014 and will provide one meal a month for the homeless. Each ward or branch will be assigned 2 months of the year to fulfill this obligation. Each unit will be contacted when it is their turn to provide the meal.
 

We'd like for willing members to provide the food when possible.  Each ward will also need to provide enough volunteers at the Ministry Center to prepare and serve the food, around 6 people from 9:00am -12:30pm. 

Please feel free to contact Emily Munns with any questions, fernsgr888@aol.com.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. - Mark 10:21

Cypress Park Elementary Teach-In Event - November 20th

Cypress Park Elementary

Teach-In Event  

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

The event takes place at Cypress Park Elementary during regular school hours, 9am-3pm. They are asking for representatives from various businesses in the community to come to the school and talk to the students about their careers and other activities that they do. What a great opportunity to get to know and to help the students learn all the possibilities they have in this life and help support the school we have adopted!

No one has to commit to the entire day and a schedule of 30 minute intervals is set-up for any volunteer once a time block has established around the individual's availability.  Volunteers will be stationed in one room and students will rotate to them, so any and all presentation equipment will be easily accessed.

Please contact Michael Jennings, Cypress Park Elementary School, at (407) 858-3100 ext 3202246 or Michael.Jennings@ocps.net with any further questions and to schedule your attendance!
