December News from Avid IMPACT

We were contacted by the Lebanon Fire Department concerning a family in need. A grandfather who is taking care of his son's children has no means to provide for his 13-yeard old grandson and 8-year old grandaughter this Christmas.

Avid IMPACT would like to adopt this family. If you would like to help, please contact us. In just a few days, we will have specific items of need for the children and the Grandfather.

Please contact us: Doug@AvidIMPACT.com

Greetings!

The past few months have gone by at a blistering pace and have brought some great blessings to Avid. These blessings have provided us with the opportunity to minister to so many families.

Please review our updates and then send us a note to let us know how you are doing: Doug@AvidIMPACT.com

Our New Building

Avid IMPACT has been blessed with a facility that will allow us to expand our routes and minister more efficiently. Ministries will benefit from Avid having supplies that are in stock, organized and ready for delivery.

Several of our supporters have already been to our building and helped with sorting, building shelves, moving-in and many other projects. In the weeks and months to come there will be even more opportunities to serve.

God is great and we are trusting Him to provide for us each month. Give us a call or come by and see us at 1054 Monroe Road; Lebanon, Ohio.

Collection Routes to Expand

Now that we have a location to sort and store collected material, we can expand into some new subdivisions. Expanding our collection efforts requires more bins and volunteers. We need volunteers to be Neighborhood Collection Ambassadors. If you would like more information, please conact us: Doug@AvidIMPACT.com

Watch for our next newsletter and read about how easy it is to donate a collection bin. The collection bins are Avid IMPACT's single largest expense overall. The donation of a bin will enable Avid to collect over 250lbs of donations per year.

Avid Helps with Fire Victim Relief

Earlier this November there was a devastating natural gas explosion at a nearby Lebanon apartment complex. There were 7-people injured and over 30 people displaced as a result of the fire and water damage.

Lebanon residents coordinated a campaign for clothing, furniture and household items. Families affected by the fire were able to select furniture, clothing, food and household items from thousands of items donated.

Avid IMPACT came in afterwards and distributed the 20,000+ pounds of items that remained. Ministries that benefited were Avid IMPACT, Matthew 25 Ministries, The Salvation Army, Urbancrest Baptist Resource Ministry, God's closet and several others.

A huge thanks to Ann Seeger for making that call to Avid IMPACT. Hundreds, if not thousands, of lives will be impacted around the world.

We could not accomplish any of this without your prayers, financial support and countless hours of volunteer help.

Please pray for us as we continue to seek creative ways to reach our community and the world for Christ. Specifically ask God to open doors as we continue meeting with key community leaders. Also, prayerfully consider financially supporting Avid. If you would like to learn more about supporting Avid IMPACT, please contact us: Doug@AviIMPACT.com.
