Denver Urban Servant Corps has dedicated the south room of the entrance
to the Ogden House as a Lutheran World Relief drop off site. When that room
fills up they order a semi truck to take everything to Minneapolis to be
distributed around the world. By offering this service congregations are
saved the expense of having to mail their donations directly to Minneapolis.
Some years Urban Servant Corps has sent as many as two semi trucks full of
quilts, clothing, health kits, school kits, and other items. The last truck
load went out in June of last year and the room is not filling up very fast.
With world events being what they are the need will be great for these items
and the sooner the room fills the sooner a new truck can be dispatched.
If congregations have items to drop off they can call the USC office at
(303) 894-0076 and talk to Sarah Hafner. Urban Servant Corps cannot pick up,
but they are available as much as possible for drop off with their limited
staff. Please note: the USC can no longer accept clothing of any
kind for drop off. |
