June 1, 2023 Local Partner Update

You may or may not know this, but Veritas has a few Local Partners throughout the city of Fayetteville. These partnerships are tangible ways that we can be For the City; God calls us to love and serve people as an outpouring of His love and Spirit. I’ve had the true pleasure to work closely with these organizations, and I get super jazzed to see and share the ways that the Lord is working through them!

 

FAYETTEVILLE AREA OPERATION INASMUCH

Fayetteville Area Operation InAsMuch (FAOIAM) exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus among the broken, hurting, and homeless by offering relief, recovery, and restoration of hope. Veritas has consistently been a part of their breakfast ministry for about 3 years now, and our opportunities to serve the homeless of Fayetteville are growing as the organization grows!

Opportunities to Serve, Support, and Donate

  • Next Breakfast Ministry Date for Veritas; Tuesday, June 13, 7-8:30a

  • Seeking Bible Study teachers for men in The Living Hope Program within The Lodge (Mondays or Wednesdays, 8:30-9:25a) - call or text Emily Ruth Perry at 412.414.9227 if you’re interested

  • If you have any old/left-over computer parts, please reach out to Garrett Langhauser at 407.234.8585 to donate them, as he is leading a Computer Course with the men in The Living Hope Program within The Lodge. (They don’t need to be in working order, as they’ll be taking them apart!)

HAND OF HOPE PREGNANCY SUPPORT CENTER

Hand of Hope is a Pregnancy Support Center with locations in Fuquay-Varina, Raleigh, and Fayetteville. They offer free services and support for pregnant women. Veritas partners with Hand of Hope by giving donations, organizing baby showers for new mothers, and volunteering as life-coaches and sidewalk volunteers.

Opportunities to Serve, Support and Donate

  • Seeking women to be ‘on-call’ for driving women to and from the triangle area for necessary appointments (great way to get time in the car to get to know mothers in need) - email Jenna Micol at jenna@handofhope.net

  • Sunday, July 30, we will do a drive for baby items and prenatal vitamins and for The Baby Boutique, which offers items to mothers in need to offset the financial burden of having a baby. Items can be purchased or gently used, and brought to church that day.

FAYETTEVILLE AREA HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity offers home repairs, disaster relief, veterans builds, and neighborhood revitalization throughout Fayetteville and the surrounding counties.

Opportunities to Serve, Support and Donate

  • Maggie Kettler, a Veritas Church Covenant Partner, will benefit from Habitat home repair starting in the next 2-4 weeks! We as the church body will have the opportunity to support and volunteer for the repair project, stay tuned for more details!

  • The Habitat Restore takes donated house items and resells them to support the work of Habitat. Habitat Restore Day will be Wednesday, June 14!
