HOMELESS AND HUNGRY
The winter season is here again. The Conejo Valley Winter Shelter Program has begun. St. Jude's responsibility this year is to provide dinner, lunch and breakfast once a month for about 40 homeless people. The lunches are being made this year by our Parish School Students in the 7th and 8th grades, and also by the "Mommy and Me" group.
Many thanks to these two groups for the especially nutritious lunches they will be making.
Volunteers are needed for the dinners and breakfasts. Breakfast consists of juice, milk, cereal, sweet rolls and/or bagels. The dinners are made-up of four (4) salads, four (4) desserts, four (4) vegetables, and four (4) entrees --- each large enough to feed ten (10) people. About twenty (20) helpers are needed each month for this project. The food is prepared at home and brought to St. Jude's and then transported to the host church, where the dinners are served. Those who wish to help serve are also welcome. We are scheduled to provide meals on the first Friday of each month for four (4) consecutive months starting in December.
Soap bars, shampoo and hair conditioner bottles, mouth washes, given to people as a courtesy in hotels/motels are very welcome.
Those who are interested or who may have some questions about this ministry to the poor, are asked to please phone Arline LaPorte at 805 - 496 - 6345.

CAREGIVERS
"Respite & Renewal"
"Respite & Renewal" is a wonderful program designed to offer Caregivers support.
We all become a Care Giver at some time during our lives. When we become a parent of an emotionally and/or physically disabled child; or we have elderly parents or relatives to care for; or we are involved in many bereavement or detention or other ministries that drain us even as we serve. From time to time we need a "Respite" and we need to be "Renewed".
This group meets every First Thursday in Rooms 3 & 4 of the Parish Hall from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Next gathering will be on the first Thursday of December, on December 7th. No dues! No fees! Just sharing and support and love.
For more information, please contact Margaret Pontius Evenings Only at 818 - 706 - 1842.
