Welcome to FVChurch’s GriefShare program!

We’d love to have you join us on Monday nights! For Winter 2025, we will run Monday nights, starting Febraury 24, at 6:30pm. 13 sessions.

This event is for anyone in the community! Bring your old clothes (adult or kids), and pick out new ones! All clothing will be free, no selling. At the end of the event, you can either take your clothes with you, or put them in the donation pile. Whatever we can use for the FVKids Clothing Closet we will happily use, and we’ll give the rest to the Adams Rescue Mission!

Participants:
ANYONE is welcome to come and hunt for clothes!
Adult AND kids clothes and shoes are welcome!

How will it work?
We’ll have signs around our auditorium with labels for MEN’S, WOMEN’S, BOYS, GIRLS clothing, and you can roughly sort your items on the chairs as you come in. Then, grab a bag or box, and start filling up with things that your family needs! Anything left on the chairs at 11:30 will be bagged up and donated either to our Kids Clothing Closet, or to the Adams Rescue Mission.

What should I bring?
You can bring clothing and shoes of any size to donate (but no NEED to), and bring bags or boxes to take clothing with you!

We’ve added another week of helping out with GETTYSBURG C.A.R.E.S.—the cold weather shelter that Gettysburg Area Churches work together on! St. James Lutheran Church hosts, but each church helps out by covering a week or two, to serve breakfast as kitchen volunteers in the morning, and leading devotions in the evenings with the residents! We will also need blanket washers at the end of the week (to be done at a laundry mat).

If you’d like info on being an overnight volunteer for the season, we email the program director (Debi Little, director@gettysburgcares.org) and let her know.

Dates: April 7-14
Needed: 14-21 Kitchen Volunteers // 2-3 Blanket washers // Breakfast food // devotion leaders

Kitchen Volunteers:
6am-8am. In the Youth House just down from the St. James Church. We will need 2 to 3 volunteers each morning (except Sundays) to prepare, serve, and clean up breakfast for the guests.

This is a one-day only job (9am on a Monday), meeting at a Gettysburg laundry mat and washing all the blankets! You are not responsible for providing the finances.
