SERVE to feed quarters into washing machines this evening in Lincoln

[February 09, 2017]  LINCOLN - The participants in the new SERVE program at St. John United Church of Christ will be stationed at the Laundromat on Woodlawn Road from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. this evening (Thursday, February 9th), to plug quarters into washing machines and dryers for those who find this a financial burden in their family’s lives. There will also be detergent and softener supplied by the church, as needed.

SERVE is an intergenerational program that seeks to learn about the agencies and programs in Lincoln/Logan County, and then find some avenue to render support or help.

Agencies visited and given support have been the Humane Society of Logan County, Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois, St. Clara’s Manor, Timber Creek, Vonderleith Nursing Home, Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Logan County Food Bank, Paulus Pork Farm (support of Pork Project of Immanuel Lutheran), Glass Recycle program via Verdeen Ingram, and Mayor Marty Neitzel’s office.

Some craft projects have benefitted residents in nursing homes and the church during the holidays.
