February 19th 2009

Hi everyone! Friday February 19th, 10 ROL'ers volunteered to venture out on the canteen truck, it was a great time of fellowship. All together we served approx. 65 people. We also handed out 25 personal hygiene packs (which were not enough), we prepared over 70 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, 70 brownies, which didn't last to long. We also gave out 3-fleece blankets, 24 pairs of socks, a bible and some knit hats. Next month we are scheduled for Friday March 19, 2010.

We need to have at least 25 or more personal hygiene packs each month, that is our prayer.

Anyone who wants to contribute items is welcome. Items in need are; socks, bar of soap, wash cloth, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant etc.

Deuteronomy 15:10-11

10:Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. 11: There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.

Hi everyone,
Welcome to our new ROL blog for the Salvation Army Canteen Ministry.

On January 15th 2010, our team went on their first food canteen trip. We fed approx. 30 + at 2 stops in East Cleveland. On this first trip we found that ,there is additional need for extra food
& cleaning supplies for the canteen truck. We also handed out 8 care packages. One lady was very happy because the care package had of all things... toothpaste! Praise God! Anyone who wants to prepare care packages (socks gloves, toothpaste, personal hygiene products etc) or cookies, brownies etc. would be appreciated. Currently, we are schedule for every third Friday of each month in 2010. Our next scheduled date is February 19th, 2010. Please keep this ministry
in your prayers.
God Bless,
John Z.
