We have a SUPPLY DRIVE going on at Delaney to make up BLESSING BAGS for those in need!
Donation / Collection Boxes are in your Sunday School classes, in the Worship Center, and in the Church Office. Once we get enough supplies donated, our Delaney Student Ministry will assemble them! We are also accepting donations of $20 Wal-Mart gift Cards.
More people than ever are needing assistance. Blessing Bags, also known as Necessity Bags, Grace or Love Bags or Care Kits, include a variety of items for people who are homeless, hungry, and in need of basic necessities. These bags also contain information about how people can receive free or reduced food from UP Orlando. They also have a prayer card letting them know we love them and are praying for them!
These are given out in Delaney’s Church Office to those who stop in requesting assistance. They are also available for YOU to pick up. Keep these in your car so you can give them out to those you come across in our community that are seeking help! These bags can be picked up at the Worship Center entrances or in the church office.
