Welcome to CareTeam December!
Those of you who participated in (g)love 8 on November 17th were part of CareTeam history. That day, volunteers created and distributed 280 CarePacks to people from Uptown to Downtown. You all are wonderful! Join us for another record-breaking (g)love on December 15th.
Traveling Food Circus
Mondays, Dec. 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st

Puppetry (Session 2 of 4)

The youth created their stories and are focused on their characters. Glitter, paint and marker should do the trick. Help us stylize the puppets so that they're ready for the youth puppet show.

Cold Party
Saturday, December 8th
Spend a few hours with some of Uptown's homeless to keep them warm. Offer socks, hats and gloves; make hot apple cider while playing board games, painting and just generally socializing. This is about warmth and relaxation.

Wednesday, December 12th
In the midst of another grand holiday season, we bring you all things Holiday. Forget Christmas, though. We're exploring the lesser knowns. Take, for example, National Take It In Your Ear Day, which you shall celebrate December 8th. So come out, join a men's team, and figure out what National Pepper Pot Day is.

(g)love 9
Saturday, December 15th
What success so far! We distributed 280 CarePacks in November with an unusual amount of energy for a Saturday morning. Are you up for it this December? We need your help to create CarePacks - bags filled with cold weather gear, toiletries and food. Then we pass them out to folks who need them.
Epworth United Methodist Church

Art at Dignity Diner
Tuesday, December 18th
Come sit next to some of Dignity Diner's talented artists to experience what can only be called interactive art. Sit down and paint with a patron. Ask folks where they get their ideas! We use lots of paint, pencils, charcoal and markers. Whether or not you're artistic, you're invited.
