“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,” Matthew
25:35 Rejoice in
the Lord’s work in our midst! Many thanks to The board members that worked so hard getting the deed paperwork,
insurance, and all else. We have new volunteers, Larry, Tom, Ken and Sue.
They are “having fun” rearranging the walls to allow a more affective
service area at ARM. Come see the changing space! Family
gatherings and vacations have affected our volunteer time and we are so
blessed to have so many jump right in and help with the tasks each day brings
us! We have
another worker, mechanical and strong- a Gravity Roller Conveyor! The Kiwanis purchased it for ARM and we
look forward to putting it to work as we rearrange our space! In May we gave service to 351 families, 810 individuals which include 273
children with 345 boxes to 793 persons.
Paid on 4 electric bills 3 electric deposits 1 water bill 0 deposits 2 rent deposits |
This fall we will have to host a grand showing—maybe a
Sunday Afternoon Tea? Ideas and
suggestions are always welcome. Our extra space has allowed us to pass on bed sets and
couches that we couldn’t have stored in the past. This summer we
are helping with the children’s lunch snacks issued by
the Women’s Crisis Center/Abortion
Alternatives. This will be
accomplished with our children’s snack bag and drinks on Tuesday and
Friday. We have distributed 100 each
day. The program started June 19th
and will conclude on August 8th.
We have a separate refrigerator now to store the juice drinks! Thanks be to the Lord! OUR NEED LIST FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS Any snack such
as “rollups” or small canned fruit. Prayers of support are needed for assisting
this effort. Please Note: Email change for online newsletter: arm@assistance-resources-ministries.org

children with 349 boxes to 805 persons.
