MyPoorFeat will be working to privide as much support for UCC MISSION:1 as we possibly can.
UCC aims to collect 111 backpacks to distribute at the Cupboard on
December 24th. We hope to fill each backpack with underwear, socks,
hand warmers, a toboggan, toiletries and a snack. We are asking our
Cupboard partners to work with us to make this happen. If there is
an item on this list that your congregation would like to contribute
to this initiative, please let me know. This can be one of your
congregations Mission:1 projects! (Old First is taking on the task
of getting the 111 backpacks as well as any other items that others
don't donate.)
Please contact us if you have itmes to donate.

Sister Jean Webster - affectionately known as "Sister Jean " to all that loved her, was born on January, 7, 1935 and went home to be with the Lord on Monday, January 10, 2011.
"Not many of us would stand behind a pot and feed people who need to be fed," she said.
This is who motivated me to do something - her saying to me was "never look down on another man unless you are looking down to pick him up"! says our founder Al Matthews. This sparked the inspiration to do someting more and I established MyPoorFeat to serve the homeless in my community and hometown of Philadelphia.
ATLANTIC CITY -- More than 300 people gathered Monday morning to remember Sister Jean Webster, her tough-love attitude and her unconditional kindness that defined the last 25 years of her life.
From the Board Members and patrons of MyPoorFeat --- Rest is Peace, Sister Jean, and Thank You !!
