Blanket Fund
During the month of February, the Presbyterian Women of Hunter (PWOH) will be collecting money to send to the Church World Service Blanket Fund. For over 60 years, Church World Service has worked in partnership with local communities to
identify their needs and access the resources they need to build the foundation for a more viable future, including:
• Blankets, tents, food and other emergency supplies in the wake of a disaster
• Tools and seeds for refugees returning home to replant their fields
• Wells for families living in drought prone areas to provide clean, safe water to drink and to irrigate crops and gardens
• Literacy training and microcredit for women struggling to realize their potential.
In light of the recent earthquake in Haiti, there is an urgent need for blankets so this collection could not come at a better time. Please help as you are able. Envelopes can be found in the pews and placed in the offering plate each Sunday during
February.
