Our residents are the best
Georgetown residents should be proud of our community’s response to a need.
Our church men’s ministry became aware of someone we wanted to help. Long story shortened — a local middle-aged women had need of regular transport to her job in Georgetown South and her problem hips prevented her from biking.
Our group, Anvil Ministry for Men, decided to help her by way of raising some cash through a garage sale in our church parking lot (Georgetown Christian Fellowship).
An email to The Independent & Free Press which described our project was published and brought in a flood of calls from the community who seemed happy to help.
Because people were generous in their donating, we exceeded our sale goals.
Some highlights include a business owner who upped our project goal from a gas-motored bike assist to a more ‘proper’ scooter by promising some financial assistance.
Someone from the Norval United Church gave us a very generous donation from their church Outreach Committee.
Some of the donors turned out to be garage sale buyers as well, who further helped our cause.
We were able to see first-hand our community coming together for a good cause. We want to thank all of you for your support.
