Little ones attending Vacation Bible School at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church took KCRM’s G2:10 Challenge in June!
Youth from Kingsland, Texas, serenaded KCRM while volunteering in our kitchen during lunch. Some of the group, a part of Adventures in Missions, helped prepare lunch while others braved intense heat and tall weeds to work on KCRM’s garden. “They helped us find the cucumbers and watermelon!” Volunteer Coordinator Juliann Hansen enthused.
KCRM’s nurse, Liz Preston, noted an upswing in severe sunburns, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses. She is requesting ball caps, sun block, aloe vera gel and hydrocortisone to help treat future patients. “A simple ball cap is a good sunburn deterrent,” Liz says. To help meet this need, bring donations to 1520 Cherry Street, 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Saturday.
KCRM's first "Works in Progress" First Friday event of this summer was a great success! 238 attended, not counting around 50 volunteers, artists and staff combined. You helped us build TP Tower! 5500 rolls of toilet paper was collected -- more than half our goal! The tower reached almost 20 feet by the end of the evening. Thanks to ALL who pariticipated! See the photos!
Friday, June 4, KCTV 5's Iris Hermosillo broadcast live from KCRM to promote the Mission's First Friday's Art Show and our TP Tower. The station invited viewers to come down to KCRM and join in our effort to collect 10,500 rolls of toilet paper--a value of around $6,500! "KCRM uses around 10,500 rolls of TP each year," said Development Officer Julie Larocco. With the money we save, we'll be able to invest even more in the lives of the homeless and our C-COR residents." Larocco estimates the tower will be around 24-feet tall. Click here to watch.
