Help Keep Local Kids Warm This Winter

Each year, Serve Wenatchee partners with schools in Wenatchee, Eastmont, and Orondo to identify students in need of warm winter coats. Last year, we received requests for over 1,100 coats — and we expect similar numbers this year.

As part of Make a Difference Day on Saturday, October 25, we’re hosting a Winter Coat Drive in the Albertsons parking lot to collect new and gently used coats for children in grades K–12. We need volunteers to help make this event a success! Please check out the information below about volunteer opportunities.

We will also need to raise an estimate $10,000 to purchase additional coats so that we have enough. Give now to help children have the warmth they need this winter!

🧤 Volunteer Roles:

• Collect, sort, and bag donated coats

• Assist with setup and teardown

• Support our team rain or shine — this is an outdoor event!

🕒 Volunteer Shifts:

• Morning Shift: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (includes setup before the 10 AM start)

• Afternoon Shift: 11:50 AM – 3:00 PM (includes teardown after the 2 PM end)

🛍️ Shopping Team Opportunity:

If we don’t receive enough coat donations, we’ll use collected funds to purchase coats. Last year, we bought over 500 coats in under 48 hours! If you’d like to be part of the shopping team, please email Shelley Monda, Operations Manager, at info@servewenatchee.org.

✅ Volunteer Requirements:

• Comfortable working outdoors in any weather

• Able to stand and move around for up to 3 hours

On Thursday, October 16, from 10 AM to 2PM drop off nonperishable food, toiletries, and diapers at any of the following locations: Safeway, Albertsons, Fred Meyer, or Grocery Outlet.

Join us for a benefit concert hosted by GladSong on Sunday, August 24, at 7 PM at Wenatchee Church of the Nazarene! Save the date and get ready to be amazed by incredible music! We will be taking a love offering for Serve Wenatchee, and non-perishable items will be collected at the entrance. Tickets do not need to be purchased in advance—just come!

Due to changes in my monthly schedule, I need to shift our monthly prayer gathering to the 2nd Thursday of each month. I HOPE this doesn't create scheduling problems on your end. 

With this needed change, we will resume our monthly prayer gatherings on Thursday, February 10th from noon-1:30. 

We each have such a rich heritage in our current ministry assignments and that collective richness glorifies God as we weave our lives together into the beautiful tapestry of our oneness in Him.

I would like to invite you to join other pastors and ministry leaders from the region to Connect, Eat, and Pray!!

There has not been, in my memory, a more important time for us to gather together in HIM. In my most recent newsletter, I quoted Mother Teresa saying, "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

Serve Wenatchee and CVCH are exited to be working together to make sure that the children of our community have cloth face masks. Join community members in making youth face masks and then bring them to the Town Toyota Center on June 27th from 10 am to 1 pm.

Need a youth pattern? Visit CVCHprotect.com.

All masks will be provided to the children during the Serve Wenatchee / CVCH combined back to school event in August.

On Wednesday afternoons, beginning at 4:00 pm, Serve Wenatchee provides a drive-thru food bank at the Town Toyota Center.
