“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.”
1 Peter 4:8-9
WHAT IS NEIGHBORLY?
Neighborly is our monthly focus to help spread the love and generosity of Jesus in tangible, impactful ways to those around us, across the street and across the world. Each month we focus on a different area of need, finding ways that any and all can be involved in making our communities stronger.
GREELEY FOCUSMARCH FOCUS – The Resource Center
This month, we’re supporting The Resource Center in Greeley. You can get involved by: filling a baby bottle with change, or volunteering your time. Baby Bottles:
– Grab a Neighborly bag from the Neighborly area in the lobby, there’s a baby bottle in it.
– Fill the bottle with change, cash, or checks made out to ‘The Resource Center.’
– Return the filled bottle to Generations by Easter (Sunday, April 9). Volunteer Opportunities: GREETERS – Commit at least 2 hours per week overseeing the receptionist area. This is the first contact clients have with our center, so we are in need of individuals with a warm smile and the ability to extend God’s love to every visitor by making them feel at home and comfortable from the moment they step through our doors. PARENTING COACHES – Lead “Earn While you Learn” parenting classes. Training and curriculum provided. Time commitment is approximately 1 1/2 hours per week. VOLUNTEER NURSE – Volunteer nurses could help us as we expand the hours we are open. PRAYER WARRIOR – Contact us for times to pray in Greeley or Windsor. Groups are also welcome. Join our prayer text line by texting ‘trcpray’ to 59769. CREATIVE SKILLS – Do you have creative skills? Practical skills? Photography, videography? Connect with us! Ready to get started? – New Volunteer Info Sessions are offered monthly! Come meet our Volunteer Coordinator, take a tour of our facility, and get all the information you need about volunteering at TRC! The Resource Center

Join us in gathering items for our local food bank, who can’t keep up with the demand for the following items. Bring any or all of these, and weekly we will be dropping them off to serve local families in need.
PAST PROJECTSMISSION GIFT TREE (ALL CAMPUSES) – In December, you provided gifts for over 200 children in our community! Beyond purchasing gifts, you served by sorting and distributing gifts out to families in Greeley and Windsor. VETERAN’S DAY THANK YOU (ALL CAMPUSES) – On Sunday, November 13, you wrote cards to veterans in our community. More than 200 were written and distributed, including 60 from our youth group! THANKSGIVING MEALS – Throughout November we gathered meals for families in need throughout northern Colorado. In total, we gathered over 275 meals between our campuses, distributed to local agencies including: DHS, ABC, COC and Ann K Heiman. HOMELESS KITS – We created kits in the lobby of the church to extend help and care to the homeless community. We’ve heard some amazing stories of how you took the time to not just hand out a bag, but to meet someone new and value their story. More kits are available at the Neighborly Table or upon request. BACKPACK DRIVE – We were able to send 147 backpacks to the Police Department, Guadalupe Shelter, Transitional House, Weld County Social Services, and our Community Outreach Center. Well done!
