Serve the City Geneva
Newsletters January 2022
Dear STC team,
We have been doing a great deal of work for the past two years under COVID.
Our teams have been very well protected from catching the virus during any of our events. And the volunteers have been very careful to sign-out of the event if they were in any way not feeling completely safe. We had some fantastic work done by many during the Christmas season and many people were served.
But now the good news/ bad news:
The Samedi du Partage food collection event was amazing!! Around 250 tons of food and household supplies were donated by the generosity of the shoppers during that Friday and Saturday. The bad news is we estimate that it will take another 6 weeks to sort all the goods to make them available to those in need. So we are asking for your help. Serve the City has pledged sorting support 2 days a week through the end of February. Please get your families & friends (+16 years of age), your fellowship groups, any of your contacts. Basic Covid protocols are followed, mask, sprays, and distancing. We have chosen a variety of week days in hope we can find at least one that suits you.
We have 10 different sign-up dates on our website. If you sign up for more that 5 days, register for the 1st day then put your other dates in the comments (trying to help you not having to signup 10 times ;o). And thanks for signing out of the event if you are not feeling well.
Dates are: 17, 24 January & 1, 3, 9, 11, 16, 18, 22 & 24 February
On Saturday, 22 January, we have an event at the BioPark in Bellevue. We are putting together a team to help prepare for some new Meerkats to the zoo. Families welcome.
