AIDS WALK N.Y. MAY 17, 2010 (Please click on images to enlarge photos)

The Frontliners Partnered with The Healing Touch and Chosen Ministries to walk in the 25th Annual Aids Walk N.Y. We gathered at the fountain in front of the Plaza hotel for breakfast and Prayer, then we proceeded to do the 6 1/2 mile walk.

Habitat For Humanity Service Project April 17,2010 (click on images to enlarge)

The Habitat for Humanity service project was an opportunity for us to contribute to the finishing of a 4-family affordable housing unit for families in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. We learned how to use the power saw, apply caulking,and add door moldings for a nice finished look. The whole experience was uplifting and gave us a great sense of accomplishment.

Frontliners,
Please see below the letter of thanks from the GODS LOVE WE DELIVER organization.




Hello Frontliners!

I just wanted to thank you for being part of our team today. It was so wonderful meeting all of you and we really appreciate all of the hard work you did for our clients. We welcome you to our growing family of staff and volunteers here at God's Love We Deliver and hope you enjoyed the time you spent with us. I know something like chopping onions or packing meals seems so simple, but it really adds up to something special. Please feel free to contact me if you're interested in returning to chop, dice, pack or deliver meals. You are always welcome here alone or as part of a group, either coworkers or friends!

Please remember that your volunteering didn't end when you left our building. It's very important that you share with friends and family what you did to assist in our mission to feed people with life altering illnesses throughout the five boroughs and Hudson County, NJ. We can't help people if they don't know that our help is available. If someone is interested in learning how they can become a client, please refer them to our Client Services Department at 800.747.2023.

Hope to see you again!

Kate

GOD’S LOVE WE DELIVER
SERVICE PROJECT FOR: 12/30/2009

Hello Fellow Frontliners( and all of those visiting the Blog)

I have just come back from communing with the brothers, and participating in the GODS LOVE WE DELIVER service project. From the moment we arrived, I could tell that this was a special place; and they were indeed doing God’s work. We began by watching a very informative video which told us about the inception of the organization, and described the people in need that they serve. After which, Nate Hamilton lead us in prayer; and we were hustled downstairs to the kitchen where the work began.

We were seasoning chicken, chopping up vegetables, labeling food trays, wiping down work areas, and the finale was preparing the meal of the day (assembly line style). There was a great sense of camaraderie amongst all of the brothers, frontliners,volunteers and staff: and the Staff was “rocking” great music while we worked. It was just like being in your own home preparing food for your family.(just multiply it by 5,000)!!

The 8 Brothers who participated were: Ted Hamilton, Wayne Quashie, Rich Jenkins, Rotimi Akinnuoye, Nate Hamilton, Lamont Bullock, Ernest Perry, and Myself.

This was a wonderful experience and I’m sure all who participated were deeply touched, and felt moved to be contributing to the nutrition of the community at large. We intend to go back and serve in the near future so don’t miss out on this blessing!

Remember……….. God is blessing you…..so that YOU may be a blessing to someone else!

To the 8 brothers that came out today:
Thank you For serving on the FRONTLINES….where the fighting is the fiercest.


BE BLESSED!,
BRUCE

Galveston Service Project 12/17-12/20

Our Trip to Galveston
A detailed description By Hector M. Vera

The persons that went were Doug Toppin, Allie Sullivan, Will Reeder, Gary Small, Rev. Tyrone Monro, Dea. Veronica Monro and myself.

On Friday and Saturday, we were able to help in renovating the only and oldest Mexican Church on Gavelston Island, La Primera Iglesia Bautista (First Baptist Church). We were able to build a partition in the women's bathroom, installed molding on doors and windows, installed commercial tile flooring in 2 bathrooms, moved pews into place in the sanctuary, hung several doors and accessories among other duties.

The two work days were spent working long hours but we hardly knew it since we were all having a great time doing God's work. On this trip, the team really jelled and everybody did their work with the utmost care attention to even the minor details.

On Sunday, prior to leaving, we attended the bilingual service at the Church. I was not challenged at all but I had to constantly translate for Sully and Will (nicknamed "Hammertime" on the trip!). At the service, Pastor Tim introduced us to the congregation and told them how much we had advanced the work at the Church. All were very appreciative to the point of tears in one of the parishners.

All in all, it was a rewarding trip. I came away gaining more than I can ever give. I want to personally thank Rev. Monro for providing the group with leadership and direction and Deacon Veronica Monro for the great meals she prepared!

Thank you much for my early Christmas Gift and God Bless!
