Project Hospitality is a project Catalina has been involved in for three
years. Last year we housed six men overnight each Tuesday and Friday
night during the months of December, January, and February. These men
are screened and sent to us by the Salvation Army. We provide the
evening meal and breakfast for the men. In ddition, we provide
individuals to supervise the men from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Year End Report
In our three month
participation on 26 nights we housed 152 men. Volunteers consisted of
early evening and overnight hosts and those preparing and serving the
evening meals and breakfast. There were a total of 125 people
involved in the program from 73 Families - both Catalina members and
nonmembers. A number of individuals volunteered for more than one
meal or host. Thanks to all who participated in making the 2000-2001
program such a success.
This is the fourth year of this
outreach program for our church. I will no longer continue to lead
this program. In order for this worthy project to continue we need
someone to take over this responsibility. This could be one
individual or two or more as co-leaders. If you have an interest in
leading this program please call the church office, (520)
327-4296. We would like a response by July
31,2001. Otherwise we will have to notify the
Interfaith Council for the Homeless
that Catalina UMC will not participate in
next year's program.
I have appreciated all of your help
and cooperation these past four years. It has been a lifting
experience for me as I hope it has been for you. You have been a
wonderful family of Christian people to work with.
