Backstreet Missions has some upcoming needs this summer. If you can help out please contact Victor at victorchijioke@gmail.com.

• The Missions is currently in need of a 5th Saturday delivery person. This individual will pick up meals from the kitchen and drop them off at Walnut Grove Apartments. It usually takes about 1hr to complete.
• Monroe County Fair (July 23 – July 30). Volunteers are needed to man the booth during these days.
  
• Ongoing needs: bus passes, shower shoes, and razors for the men’s shelter; bus passes, gas cards, and razors for the women’s shelter. They also need meat. Whoever wants to donate should drop off the items at the Missions.
  

Do you see needs in the local and surrounding communities where volunteer teams at SOCC could assist?

The community outreach leadership team is looking for opportunities to make a local impact and could use your help both in identifying needs and also brainstorming ideas to best address those needs.

If you would like to join this group please email me and I'll keep you posted on the meeting dates or feel free to share through email your thoughts and ideas of how SOCC can express our mission of i2U in our communities.
