E-News from Maumee Watershed District

For the fourth consecutive year, LCCS is sponsoring "Wear Blue Day," Wednesday, April 8, 2015. We're encouraging everyone to wear blue on this one day to acknowledge that it takes an entire community to keep children from being abused or neglected. Ask your church, family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to post picture of themselves in groups wearing blue on the Lucas County Children Services FaceBook page or on the Maumee Watershed FaceBook page.

Sometimes, first aid isn't

a bandage, or CPR, or the Heimlich, or calling 911.

Sometimes, first aid is YOU!

Learn about a Ministry Model that Pairs Charity with Job Training and Creation

May 6-7, 2015 Detroit, MI

Cass United Methodist Church had a long tradition of social outreach and since the creation of nonprofit Cass Community Social Services in 2002, the work has expanded greatly.

Charity - including a million meals served annually - has been paired with job training and creation. For example, the ministry's Green Industries program employs 85 people in such recycling innovations as making mud mats and sandals from old tires. Exercise bikes are rigged to generate electricity for those industries. The ministry has put people to work making coaster sets and trained others through a culinary arts program.
