Walking with Moms in Need - News Update
Updated November 8, 2024
October 2024 Afternoon Tea Fundraiser
Thank you to everyone that helped make our Fall themed tea fundraiser a tremendous success. We raised over $6,700, had 173 attendee. Browsing the thirty amazing baskets, while listening to pianist Lisa Berghaus made the event feel very elegant.
Thank you to all who created the baskets, gave monetary donations, and those who participated in the raffles. The highlight was the varied and tasty tea sandwiches, salad, and decadent desserts.
A special thank you to Polly Wittrup and Cindy Traut for organizing this beautiful afternoon. We are so grateful for everyone’s support, the turnout was overwhelming, and very encouraging.
Help Make Us Known!
As you drive around town, be on the lookout for our bumper magnets and yard signs, publicizing our ministry, and desire to help pregnant and parenting moms in need. We would like to thank the St Peter/St Julie Knights of Columbus for helping us fund these signs and magnets. The Knights have been very supportive and generous to our ministry, and we are very grateful. Thank You Knights of Columbus!
Publicizing our ministry continues to be one of our main priorities. If you would like a free car magnet, and, if you or someone you know, has a business in a high traffic area and would allow us to put up a sign, please call Ann Marie at 440-865-3506. Our service areas include North Ridgeville and Elyria.
We helped one woman directly and three others through our partnership with Providence House and Birthright, by providing donated items. e.g., food gift card, household items and furniture, diapers, a booster car seat, strollers, and infant car seats.
We continue as a group to meet monthly, inviting resource providers to educate us on their services. Most important, we continue to pray we are prepared when a mother in need calls for assistance. Please join us in that prayer request. If you would like to join our Circle of Hope group, who receives updates and emails when there is a need that area resources cannot provide, please call Ann Marie at 440-865-3506.
We also want you to know we have a Facebook page: Walking with Moms in Need - North Ridgeville. Please like us and share with others.
