Change a Life through Change for the month of November All Change in the Offering Plates Going to the Siouxland Sleep Out All loose coins (please place bills and checks in a marked white pew envelope) goes towards a mission project here in Siouxland. November’s Change for Change will go to the Siouxland Sleep Out. Did you know that there were around 2,500 homeless people in Sioux City last year—about 250 or 300 on the streets on any given day? There are entire families living on the streets. Children. Its not a good situation. Another little-known fact is that slightly over 25% of Siouxlands homeless are veterans, ranging from those who served in Vietnam to the Iraq/Afghanistan war. Realizing this, off to the park went the volunteers last November. They took pledges, packed up their tents (and cardboard boxes in a few cases) and off to the park they went. It was such a success that theyre going to do it again in 2014! Were gonna have an auction, a box contest, maybe even a movie if the weather holds! One way to donate is to send a check (payable to Siouxland Sleep Out) to Mental Health Association, 2003 Geneva Street, Sioux City, IA 51103. If youre supporting someone whos sleeping out in the park be sure to mention their name when you send the check in. NOTE: Checks must be in the mail by Oct. 30, 2014. Many of our church members, along with people from all over Siouxland, will be participating in the annual Siouxland Sleep Out on Friday night, November 7, at Lewis and Clark Park
