RED RIBBON CHRISTMAS OUTREACH in Clinton County

On Saturday, December 12,at the Frankfort Plaza, CCMOH provided a Secret Santa shopping event for children in grades K-5. Adults were offered cookies and punch while 69 children shopped for gifts for their parents and siblings. Items from a value of $.50 to $12.00 were provided at cost, and scholarships were available with recommendation from the schools.

On Saturday, December 19, volunteers delivered Kokomo Rescue Mission's RED RIBBON CHRISTMAS boxes full of gifts and food for 643 people throughout Clinton County. Applications were taken at both sites of the Ministry of Hope dinners in November.

Thanksgiving Banquet for 165

The line wound around through the tables to get a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving, 165 people crowded into the Paul Phillippe Resource Center. They came to eat, to fellowship and to apply for help from Kokomo Rescue Mission's RED RIBBON CHRISTMAS OUTREACH. After everyone had been served, the leftovers provided an additional 35 take home meals.

Clinton County Ministry of Hope Steering Committee

• Clinton County Ministry of Hope operates under a Steering Committee selected by the people of Clinton County who in turn will work under the auspices of the Kokomo Rescue Mission.

• Fourteen teams of volunteers from nine local churches currently rotate in preparing and serving the meal from food supplied by KRM. The church represented by the volunteers also provides a short devotional during the meal.

• We offer this opportunity to churches as an effective way to provide the needy with food for both body and spirit. An average of 60 - 75 people are currently being served supper each Tuesday evening and are given leftovers to take home for the following day.
