Your Prayerful Support Will Help Others

4 Sunday Breakfast Mission Winter 2019 www.sundaybreakfastmission.org

All year long, volunteers make Sunday Breakfast Mission work. When you, and your coworkers, your church or school group help SBM collect groceries, sort and pack food boxes, or gather toys, you experience firsthand how generosity is helping meet the extensive needs of the homeless, hurting, and hungry in our community.

As you create your volunteer calendar for 2019, consider including opportunities to build teamwork or to volunteer individually to give back

to your community through Sunday Breakfast Mission. SBM HAS MANY WAYS YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN 2019.

Here are just a few:1. Host a Drive: Sunday Breakfast relies upon generous

donations from community members and groups for these items.Food: Year-round, thousands of pounds of boxed foods,

canned foods, rice, breakfast cereals, and peanut butter are donated, sorted, and packaged for the community and used to help sustain SBM meal provisions for overnight guests and residents. Your generous donations provide meals for many impoverished individuals and families.

Back to School Supplies: In late August, SBM distributes

hundreds of backpacks full of supplies to boys and girls in Wilmington area. You can be a part of their successful school year by hosting a collection drive or participating in SBM’s sorting and packing events held mid-July to mid-August.

Thermals: Winter is brutal on homeless men, women, and children. In the fall, SBM collects thermals of all sizes (Small to 5x) for men and women to provide warmth to those

in need.Toys: SBM operates our Christmas Shop to provide free new

toys to needy families. Your company and community group can hold toy drives from mid-November until mid-December to help provide new and exciting gifts for boys and girls age birth – 17 yrs. old.

2. Sort Donated Goods: Rally a group of your closest friends or colleagues to sort and pack donated goods brought in through the various drives. In a short time of 3 - 4 hours your team can have fun, build teamwork, and potentially prepare hundreds of packaged goods for needy families

3. Serve a Meal: Come serve lunch to the men and women in SBM’s Bible-based Rehabilitation Program from 11:30-1:30 or dinner from 4:30-6:30 to our hurting and hungry community.

4. Give Financially: Consider creative ways to raise funds to help SBM. One group held casual Fridays and raised over $600 and others have their employer match their giving. When you and your team rally to impact the lives of our homeless neighbors, you will see the remarkable difference you will make.

SBM depends on the generosity of our community. So, how about pulling out your calendar and picking some dates to MAKE THE DIFFERENCE? Write Donna at dgriffith@sundaybreakfastmission.org or Jackie at jarmstrong@sundaybreakfastmission.org and begin the process of scheduling your team for an onsite or offsite event in 2019.

Thank you in advance for Making The Difference. We are grateful for YOU!

EVERY NUMBER HAS A NAME,EVERY NAME HAS A STORY

You may have heard, “every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God”. Because of your generosity, these numbers tell the stories of many lives that have been impacted with the Gospel message, the love of a caring community, and the blessings of hope, during difficult circumstances. It is because of you, our faithful partners, and your generous support, SBM is able to care for each man, woman, and child who arrives at our doorstep seeking shelter, meals, and much, much more. It is because of you, people like Ormaine, Sarah, Aubrey, Deana, and Cameron could enter into SBM’s Bible-based Rehabilitation Program and receive the support they needed to put off their old ways of living and work towards rebuilding their lives and restoring their families.

Sunday Breakfast Mission exists to serve the homeless, addicted and impoverished through Christ-centered programs to meet their spiritual, social, and physical needs. We could not accomplish this goal if it was not for you! Not only do these numbers tell the stories of men, women, and children receiving help here at SBM, but these numbers tell your, our donors, stories too! Your stories of hope to see lives transformed with the Gospel. Your stories of compassion to provide hot nutritious meals for those who are hungry. Your stories of concern to provide a warm, safe place for each homeless man, woman, and child. Your stories of care to meet the needs of those who are impoverished.

As we look back over the year at the impact that your stories tell, we have to pause and give thanks to God and to you, our donors. Thank you for making it possible for us to provide for those in need and making it possible to create new stories of lives that have been helped by our generous community! Thank You!

WANT TO FEEL MORE ALIVE?At our best, humans desire fulfilling lives that leave a positive impact on our world. So, how do we live truly alive? Here are two simple ways:1. Practice gratitude. Do you find yourself struggling with negativity or cynicism? Consider practicing “grateful touch” for a week — simply thanking God for anything you touch — and see how it changes your perspective.2. Give. Acts 20:35 echoes the words of Jesus, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and did you know science backs this up?Giving releases oxytocin and endorphins into your body — rewarding the same pleasure centers in the brain as receiving a gift! Plus, giving of your time or money to an organization like Sunday Breakfast Mission has the added benefit of impacting lives. Many people have decided to update their Will to include a gift to a ministry they care about. This is a unique way to feel more alive now — and ensure your legacy will outlive you.

Tom Laymon at (302) 656-8542, ext. 103 or tlaymon@sundaybreakfastmission.org - or bless your family today with a God-honoring Will at www.christianwill.org/sbm
