Subject: Happening at Hot Metal 🧊 A Few Direct Requests for Support

Sunday Worship Services In-Person & on Zoom @ 10:30AM 
Spartan Community Center of Hazelwood

An opportunity for hyper-direct aid to families impacted by ICE in Minnesota comes from Hot Metaller, Katy Getsie, who now lives Minneapolis. Through local neighborhood organizing, Katy has been assigned to provide groceries for 10 families who are currently sheltering in place. She has been providing for these families out of her own pocket but is running out of money to continue. 

If friends in the Hot Metal family would like to pitch in, you can venmo Katy at @Kate-Getsie. Feel free to contact Lauren with any questions: clerk@hotmetalbridge.com.




More locally, Hope New Worshipping Community in Charleroi has long supported their Haitian neighbors whose temporary protected status was set to end on February 3 and has been halted by a judge in Washington County, but the threat remains. Hope New Worshipping Community would like to gather friends and allies that would pray and be willing to have their name on an email list to be informed of the needs if things change and ICE raids begin to happen. There will be a zoom meeting tonight, February 5, at 7PM.
