• Our next service Date: Saturday, January 30

It’s time for us to serve again at Hesed House! Although the guests have returned to the shelter, volunteers are still not allowed on campus to serve. (Hesed is working closely with the Kane County Health Department to limit exposure to Covid and ensure their guests stay healthy.) Still, they are counting on us to provide dinner, and these are some of the ways you can help:

·        Sign up to prepare BBQ Chicken, scalloped potatoes or dessert.

·        Sign up to provide bags of frozen mixed vegetables

·        Volunteer to help pack lunches the afternoon of January 30

·        Donate any old sheets or towels in good condition

·        Donate toiletries or medical supplies, including:

Hand Sanitizer  

Anti-Bacterial Soap  

Disposable Gloves  

N95 Masks  

Large and Small Mouthwash (Alcohol Free)  

Cough Drops  

Men’s Razors  

Men’s Deodorant  

Adult Cold/Flu Medicine (Alcohol Free)

If you would like to prepare food or provide mixed vegetables, contact:

Phyllis Pitt at repitt@comcast.net or (630) 818-5918.

To volunteer to pack lunches or provide other donations, contact:

Danice Craney at danicecraney@sbcglobal.net or (630) 408-8951.

As always, the guests appreciate your generosity and ALWAYS compliment us on our chicken! (It’s one of their favorite meals.) Thanks, everyone, for continuing to support this mission. Last, please share pictures of your experience with Hesed House. Send pictures to office@bataviaumc.org.

Join us in worship for our Christmas Eve service, which will premiere on our YouTube channel at both 4pm and 7pm on December 24th. The service will be available to stream anytime after the 4pm premiere, but we encourage you to join us for one of the livestreams, for an opportunity to join others in fellowship in the live chat!
