Yard Sale to Benefit Norcross Cooperative Ministry

On Saturday,

September 21st, Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church will be holding a

neighborhood-wide yard sale on the front lawn of the church (or Fellowship Hall in case of rain). All proceeds from this yard sale will

benefit Norcross Cooperative Ministry’s Restoring Hope program.

What is “Restoring Hope!”?

The Norcross Cooperative

Ministry will work closely with a minimum of 100 families over the next five

years to help them break the cycle of poverty and return to a productive

lifestyle. These clients will receive expanded services, such as housing

assistance, education programs, money management and employment preparation.

NCM will also increase food distribution and emergency housing and begin to provide non-food items to families in need. Food bags distributed by NCM currently have about a four or five day food supply. NCM would like to give a week’s worth of food.
