Evergreen Community Initiatives, is made up of a lot of volunteers. Without our volunteers our programs won't exist. Our Board of Directors is made up of people from all walks of life with various skill sets, but they all have one common goal: to help people in our community.
Evergreen Community Initiatives, in partnership with Frame Presbyterian Church, is committed to providing a warming center in Stevens Point. We are looking for volunteers to fill the 2 shifts at night and funding to keep this facility available. For more information contact us.
Located at the public library in Stevens Point, a colorfully dressed tree stands. Wrapped in scarves, hats, and mittens of all sizes and colors each has a simple note that states, “I am not lost. If you are cold, please take me to keep warm.”
Open Monday 9a-11a and Thursdays 2p-4p
One of our co-chairs, Tiffani, is a mother of five children, as well as a foster parent in our local community. During a Place of Peace meal she was noticing children were attending in clothing that was either torn, tattered, or just didn't fit.
We are very excited to have Frame Memorial Presbyterian Church open their doors to provide shelter for those in need during the cold Wisconsin winter months! If you are wanting to get involved here is how:
We all end up needing assistance at one point or another.
It's true; everyone at some point in their life needs help. There is no denying or avoiding it. It happens. What makes us become the phoenix that rises out of the ashes of despair is the willingness to humbly accept the help, and then in time pay it forward. That is the what the backbone of our programs are about. It would be great if people didn't need help and just got along natrually. It would be great if everyone had a house to turn into a home and endless food on the table. Unfortunately, things don't work that way. Which is why we are here. We are here to help.
However, we also want you to help yourself. So why not sort clothes in The Kids Closet or serve food at the Place of Peace? Without our volunteers and donations this group wouldn't exist. So please, lend a hand, help a fellow human through their trials, and pay it forward (even if you are in the midst of receving it).
1 Peter 4:10 – As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.
