Outreach

We delivered a truck full of gifts, knitted goods and food items to help support the Wesley No Charge Christmas Store on Sunday December 11th.  We were met at the curb by a group of about 10 teenage boys who participate in a Hamilton Basketball outreach program sponsored by Wesley.  They promptly unloaded our truck into grocery carts and took everything in to be sorted ready for the shoppers.  Tansley was thanked by numerous people for our donations.  Thank you to everyone who contributed items and helped pack up and get them to the truck.  

The Outreach committee is meeting after church on Sunday Dec 18th to discuss local projects and a global project for Haiti.  If anyone is interested, please find us after church and pull up a chair or speak with any member of the Outreach Committee - Janice Hatt, Sheila Young or Janice Martin.

Year round programs

Tansley: Reaching out to our community, region, and world.

The Outreach Committee seeks opportunities for Tansley to offer help, wherever it is needed. We  have decided to focus on three projects for a 3 – 5 year time frame:

Global Project: 

Haiti: Support of Empower Global http://www.empowerglobal.org/,  a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower the impoverished through microcredit and community development programs, including primary healthcare in and around Cap Haitien.

Regional Project:

Wesley Urban Ministries www.wesleyurbanministries.com/, a Hamilton Conference outreach mission, offering a hand up to those in need. We will serve a chili dinner there on Sunday November 13 and support the No-Cost Christmas Store in December. Our quarters from September 11 went to the Children’s programs.

Local Project:
We are still investigating where best we can put our resources in Burlington. If you have any suggestions, please speak to one of the members of the committee.

In addition, we will support appeals by the United Church of Canada. During Summer 2011, we publicized the appeal for relief for The Horn of Africa.

We are also investigating helping with a project to collect clothing for SOCKS (Support Orphaned Children Kenyan School) http://sockscanada.org/  orphanage in Kenya, a cause Tansley has supported in the past.

Want to Help?

  • Pray for these projects, for the people who serve on them, and for those they serve.
  • Volunteer some time. We will need help to cook and serve chili and to deliver items to the Wesley Centre. There will be other opportunities too.
  • Donate items. We will be asking for ingredients for chili, and for toys and clothing. There may be other needs that we’ll tell you about too.
  • Make financial donations.
  • Join the Outreach Committee. We could use your ideas and input.

    • The Outreach Committee
