August 2020 Programs

Social Action Committee Programs

With this unprecedented physical separation from TBS, we are not able to continue our collections as we normally do. There are so many ways to help, however, so lets all do our best to help in the ways that we can. Some suggestions:

  • Call someone to see how they are doing today
  • Make a cotton face mask
  • Make a financial donation to the many agencies that are helping medical personnel get the supplies they need.
  • Make a financial donation to agencies collecting food and then disseminating to those in need ( DESK website has many ideas https//:www.deskct.org).

Ongoing Programs: We will resume all programs as soon as possible. Some programs can be done at home.

  • Collecting Pop Tabs for Ronald Mc Donald House: Please collect your tabs and bring your tabs to TBS once we can return. Once we have a good amount they will be donated for this worthwhile cause.
