Meeker Area Ministries has its annual Christmas Carols and Holiday Cheer event on Sunday, December 1st at 2 p.m. at the Litchfield Opera House. Sara Dollerschell will lead the singing of carols, and treats will be served. Freewill donations will be accepted.
Rochelle Brummond says one of their clients will be giving a testimony about how Meeker Area Ministries has impacted their life. She says they are trying a new day and time for this year’s event.
Brummond says MAM is in the process of refurbishing some of their living units and they’re also in the process of getting a couple of transitional units ready by the first of the year. She says they provide shelter for people in Meeker County who are homeless and help them transition into permanent housing.
Brummond says if anyone is willing to make a donation to Meeker Area Ministries, checks can be mailed to Post Office Box 192 in Litchfield. She says if anyone has questions, they may call her at 693-7911 or stop in to her office at the back of the Threads of Hope store in downtown Litchfield.
Pastor Tom Evenson is on the MAM board. He says the Carols and Cheer event helps get the word out about what their organization does to help the homeless, and Rochelle is available to speak to groups about MAM.
Evenson says homelessness looks different in Meeker County than it does in the metro area. He says MAM helps to teach life skills to people who are homeless, and people are welcome to contact him for more information at First Lutheran Church in Litchfield.
