The Norton Ministry
For those who may not know, the Norton Ministry is a ministry of this parish that manages the collection of donated household items – pots ‘n pans, dishes, sheets, clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. These donations are then sent, by the generosity of several local trucking firms, to Norton, VA, a small town located in the southwest corner of VA. It is located in Wise County, the poorest county in the state.
The collection of donations goes on all year. Help is always needed to pick up the donations, put them into a storage unit, then move them all into a 57’ tractor trailer twice a year. Young, old or in-between; male or female, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can pick up things and move them from point A to point B, you’re needed. As long as you can laugh and have fun, you’re needed. If you have the use of a pickup truck or trailer that’s a plus but not a necessity.
We will be loading a tractor trailer later this month. Beginning on Monday, April 28th at 5:00 pm and working until dark we will begin the process of bringing stored items to the trailer which will be parked in the church lot. Work will continue each evening that week; same hours; until the trailer is full.
If you would like to be part of the team you can simply show up in the church parking lot at 5:00 pm on the 28th or call Kathy at 757 376-7160.
