Gettysburg C.A.R.E.S

This year, FV will be participating in GETTYSBURG C.A.R.E.S.—the cold weather shelter that Gettysburg Area Churches work together on! St. James Lutheran Church hosts, but each church will pick a two week block (or two) and to serve breakfast as kitchen volunteers in the morning! We will also need blanket washers at the end of the 2 weeks (to be done at a laundry mat).

If you’d like info on being an overnight volunteer for the season, we email the program director (Debi Little, ZGlyZWN0b3IgfCBnZXR0eXNidXJnY2FyZXMgISBvcmc=) and let her know.
