The Place of Forsyth County
October Newsletter!
Dear Friend,
At The Place we are already in the thick of
Holiday planning - Thanksgiving, Christmas
and warm coats - starting to gather food and
clothing that will help the community tackle
the upcoming season with more comfort and
joy. This past month we were blessed to meet
two special young men. One is a single Dad
raising a 10 year old alone. It was such a
blessing to offer our help to him in many ways
so that he and his child can get food and
clothing along with other things they
need. The other is a teen age homeless
person that is trying to work and survive. He
is younger than my children and I just look in
awe at all he has been doing alone. We are
excited that these two people are in our lives
now and that we have services they need. I
have often said that of our 3 gifts - time,
talent and treasure - time is the most precious
and we receive the most blessing when we can
give that to others. If you would like to get
involved in our work for the community,
please contact me:
joni@theplaceofforsyth.org.
