Auction Items Needed

 

It’s never too early to donate to the Christmas Market Auction!  We welcome any and all offerings, from vacation homes, dinners, sports or cultural tickets, children’s items, workshops (flower arranging, cooking, needlepoint) art, wines, clothing.  The possibilities are endless.  If you have an auction item to donate, please  fill out the form in Redeemer News and return it to the church office, or contact Lisa Farber (farmince@aol.com) for live or silent auction items.

 

Volunteers Needed

 

We need volunteers to help out with all aspects of this year’s Market and Auction.  We have different roles that can fit different schedules -- from an hour free here and there to a more substantial involvement.  If you’re interested in helping out, please contact the co-chairs, Lisa Farber (farmince@aol.com, 617- 738-1477) or Julia Woodard (jebillo@aol.com, 617-522-5021).  Committees include:  Food, Greens, Consignors, Auction, Baked Goods, Decorations, Cocktail Party, and Crafts. 

 

Hunger in Massachusetts

 

With food prices rising sharply recently, there has been an estimated 20 - 40% increase in people in Massachusetts seeking assistance from food pantries.  Many of these are working families who can’t make ends meet, or have to choose between buying food or gasoline.  To help address this, there will be collection bins all summer for non-perishable food items outside the church office and on Amy and Rick Weed’s front porch (20 Malia Terrace, Chestnut Hill).  We will drop the items at the Newton and Brookline Food Pantries every other week.  Please pick up an extra item or two when you are at the grocery store to help address this growing problem.

 

Executive Assistant to the Rector

The Church of the Redeemer is looking for a person to fill this new position.  The complete job description can be found on the parish's website.  If you know of anyone who might be interested, please ask them to send a cover letter and resume to Dorsey at dmcconnell@redeemerchestnuthill.org. Many thanks.

 

Brookline Food Pantry Needs Additional Volunteers 

This summer, the Brookline Food Pantry needs three additional volunteers who could give two hours per week serving our customers. 

 

The work involves helping our customers with their shopping and helping to keep the shelves stocked.

 

The pantry is open from 10am to 2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and volunteers are needed from 10 to 12 or from 12 to 2.  There are always two or three volunteers per shift.

 

Anyone who is interested should contact the pantry manager who is Jim Margolis at 617-901-0848 or jamargolis@earthlink.net.  The Brookline Food Pantry is located at 15 Saint Paul Street in Brookline.
