Ruth Harbor ... A Compassionate Solution, A Safe Place
I am passionate about Ruth Harbor.
Ruth Harbor is a local home, ministry, safe place for young women who are pregnant, and need a place to live until their baby is born.
I just wrote, and deleted, a bunch of logistical information about Ruth Harbor, because I realized that their website says it better than I ever could, so check it out by clicking on the above link.
This blog is to raise $ !!!
Saturday, May 12th, will be the 2nd annual Walk for Life to raise money for Ruth Harbor. Mark and I had the privilege of being involved in year #1, and it was so gratifying. In previous years, Ruth Harbor had done a flower sale to raise funds. Last year, with only minimal additional effort, a substantial increase in money was raised. LOVE THAT!!! But in my opinion, raising AWARENESS of Ruth Harbor is as important as raising money. So please consider giving of your time (and join us on the walk at Meredith Trail in Des Moines), or of your talent (contact me to sponsor our family as we Walk For Life)!!!
And how cool is THIS...Angela Sustala has also become passionate about Ruth Harbor, and she had the fabulous idea of organizing a Jordan Creek Family Church TEAM! This is her idea...I only wish I could take credit for it:) Team members will receive a Walk For Life t-shirt with our "JCFC" logo on the back. Then we will all meet at Meredith Trail @ 9am for registration, walk together, and then go have breakfast together afterward. So if you would like to join our "TEAM JCFC" that would be even more cool than sponsoring our family.
Either way, get involved!
