An open letter from MUST Ministries to NorthStar Church:
Dear Partners in Serving your Neighbors in Need,
As we begin the New Year at MUST Ministries, we reflect on the past and count our blessing. One of our most cherished blessings is having tremendous support from the faith-based community in all the counties where we have a presence. Each of you has stood side by side with us during 2011 by supporting MUST Ministries with your Prayers, Volunteers and Finances.
The economic climate and unemployment in 2011 has not subsided, which pushed more of your struggling neighbors to seek the services provided by MUST Ministries. In 2011 we served more clients than ever with groceries, hot meals, clothing, emergency shelter, other housing programs, educational support and job assistance. We expanded our Cherokee and Cobb Summer Lunch for children on free or reduced school lunches into North Fulton, Gwinnett and Paulding counties where we served more than141, 000 meals in five counties. Our MUST “Toy Shop” helped more than 4,500 children have a Merry Christmas. We found 335 individuals employment and the KSU Wellstar School of Nursing Community Health Clinic on one of our campuses saw 1,900 patients.
None of the above achievements would have been possible without the most amazing statistic of them all………..more than 6,000 volunteers donated 255,482 hours of service and talents to MUST Ministries. On behalf of the 34,000 people we served last year, thank you to your church and congregation for all ou have done and continue to do for the clients of MUST Ministries. Without you, we could never live out our mission “Serving our neighbors in need…transforming lives and communities in response to Christ’s call”.
