Important Event – March 7th-March 21st!

Christ Church Unity will participate in the county's alternative housing program, the Interfaith Shelter Network (ISN).   The ISN is the county's shelter program that operates with host churches to provide 6 months of housing to 250 families each year.  The program is open to those who are looking to make changes in their lives and work on a plan to end their homelessness.  Together we can provide all the essentials for our guests to stay at CCU for two weeks from March 7-14, 2010.  We will need volunteers
to stay overnight, cook meals and share talents, donate items or give a monetary gift so supplies can be purchased.  Together we can make this a pleasant and helpful experience.

For more information for more information on when our volunteer orientation will be held or to make a donation please email us.  Each one of us doing something - regardless if it is large or small - can help to a successful event!
