Immediate Needs: How You Can Help The Street Ministry
So now that you know more about the nuts and bolts of this ministry, how can you get involved?
Pray! Every evening as they visit folks in vulnerable circumstances, they are protected and supported through prayer.
Tangible donations!
Do you like to make muffins?
Muffins are distributed every night and you can sign up to bake one of four dozen muffins that are needed each week. We are seeking four dozen muffins for each week’s ministry. Here are the details:
we’d like to avoid an over-stocking of the freezer by having just 4 dozen muffins delivered to the standing freezer in the main kitchen by SUNDAY of each week
we’d ask that ‘muffin makers’ wrap each muffin individually in clingwrap or placed it in a baggie before bringing them to the church (it’s so much easier to access the frozen muffins and more sanitary to serve them when individually wrapped)
please put (1) your name, (2) the date and (3) STREET MINISTRY on the bag in which you put the wrapped muffins to bring them to the freezer
To ensure that we get a fresh supply each week, you are invited to click the link below and fill your name in by the week or weeks in which you will provide a dozen muffins. OR, for that person-to-person interaction, feel free to call the church office at
458-8348 and your information will be taken and added to the plan.
Other needs you can help with
Individual bottled water is a basic need for those living on the streets. Flats or cases of bottled water can be brought to the Connections Centre on Sunday morning or during office hours.
AA and AAA batteries are a frequent request of those living on the streets. For the next two Sundays (Nov. 14 & 21) if you want to donate a pack of batteries to help power someone’s flashlight, headlamp, radio or whatever else they may need, packs of batteries can be dropped at the Connections Centre on Sunday mornings or weekdays during office hours. These will be given out as needed and requested, not distributed like the sandwiches, water and muffins.
If you have any questions about this ministry or ideas of other ways you might get involved, please contact Susan Howey at susan.tingleyhowey@gmail.com.
Thank you for continuing to bless some of Fredericton’s most vulnerable population!
