The FaithWorks Pantry Committee is looking for a volunteer to serve as a general contractor for the Pantry's upcoming remodeling.

The project includes tearing out some walls and enlarging the FaithWorks Pantry space by 40%. This person will help with things like lining up subcontractors and volunteers, getting city permits, heading up demolition work, getting estimates, and other miscellaneous construction-related work.

The Local Missions Team at FaithWestwood has established a new partnership with Restoring Dignity, a multifaceted nonprofit ministry in Omaha that assists refugee families settling in the Omaha area as well as anyone who is down and out. 

Part of this ministry is the collection and storage of donated furniture and household items. Right now, the Local Missions Team is assembling a team of:

• volunteers with pickups or trailers who would agree to help our congregation move their donated furniture to Restoring Dignity's warehouse at 108th & J Streets, and
• volunteers to help load and unload donated furniture and household items

When the need arises, the volunteers will be contacted by a Local Missions Team member to coordinate pickup and unloading. 

To sign up, please visit https://tinyurl.com/FWServeRD

Questions? Contact the Local Missions Team Staff person, Russ Tompkins, at 402-618-1608 or via email at russ.tompkins@faithwestwood.com.

And if you'd like to donate furniture and household items, please visit https://rdomaha.org/ for a list of items that are needed (and not needed).

Our Blanketed with Prayer team of knitters, crocheters, and fleece tie-ers creates warm, handmade prayer shawls and blankets for anyone who needs a little comfort during a hospital stay or other challenging time. The team also creates baby afghans for new arrivals too.

And these blankets are all FREE for anyone in the congregation to pick up and give to someone and share the love of God. Each blanket comes prepackaged in a gift bag with tissue and a note from FaithWestwood. Simply grab a blanket from the shelves in the foyer on Sunday morning, or stop by the west entrance during office hours, M-F 8:00 - 3:30
