Grassroots Meals

Sorry for the typo- we have 2 "existing" teams.

Sandtown Habitat for Humanity

Hello,

Welcome to the Sandtown Habitat for Humanity blog post. I hope to use this to keep everyone updated on upcoming work days, progress and stories of interest. In future postings, I will give a little history on the Sandtown area and the Habitat Mission.

Currently, Chapelgate is working on a home at 1442 Mount Street along with our friends from Central Presbyterian. This is the 13th home we've sponsored in 12 years!! Chapelgate takes the lead responsibility for leading volunteers on the 1st and 4th Saturday of each month, while Central leads on the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays. We typically work from around 9:00am until around 2 or 3 in the afternoon (you do not have to commit to the entire day to be a big help!).

How can you help? Volunteer to drive nails, help clean the house during work days (this keeps the site much safer), be a "runner" (gather materials for the work inside the house), prepare and serve a meal for about 30 people (a great idea for small groups!), painting (usually only one or two work days a year, but always a active day!), etc.

You will see pictures of the progress of this home as we move along. Currently, it is in BAD shape, but we are well on the way to making this a beautiful home.

If you are interested in Habitat, please contact me. I will add you to an email list.

Grassroots Meals

Chapelgate has been providing meals for the Grassroots Crisis Shelter in Columbia, MD. since January 2007. We have 2 exiting teams and each team member provides part of a meal, one of the main dishes, a salad, a vegetable, or a dessert. One team usually provides a meal once a month and the other team does so every other month. The team captain arranges the date and notifies the team what their Sunday is to provide a meal, plans the menu, gives you choices of what to make, and delivers the meal. Pretty simple for the cooks and rewarding to know we are helping to feed the homeless in Howard County!

Welcome!

We hope this blog will be a great resource for you as we seek to enter into our surrounding communities and serve in Jesus' name. You will soon be able to read descriptions of Chapelgate's partner ministries as well as view upcoming events on our calendars. Enjoy!
