A lot is happening with the East End Community Ministry these days! In addition to Sixth's ongoing support efforts of EECM including our food pantry contributions and men's shelter meals, here are THREE great additional ways we can help to support this amazing organization that provides so much help to our neighbors in need:
Whole Foods 5% Day - Wednesday, October 28, 2009, - 8am to 10pmGrab your grocery list and support EECM while you shop! On Wednesday, October 28th, Whole Foods Market will donate 5% of their sales for the day to East End Cooperative Ministry. EECM staff and volunteers will be on hand to distribute information about their many programs. They will also be giving away a limited number of EECM reusable shopping bags, so hurry in!The 6th Annual Houses of Worship Architectural TourCelebrating the beauty within our community! (Church of the Redeemer, Sixth Presbyterian Church, and Temple Sinai,Sunday, November 1, 2:00 PM -- 4:00 PM)Tour begins at 2:00 PM at Church of the Redeemer (5700 Forbes Ave.). Admission to the Tour is $20 plus a bag of non-perishable groceries for EECM's Food Pantry. Tour price includes docent-led tours of each congregation highlighting its history, art, and architecture, and a light reception at Church of the Redeemer. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling 412.361.5549. Tickets will also be available the day of the Tour. This is a great way to help out EECM and to learn more about the amazing architecture of Sixth Church and a few of our neighbors' houses of worship as well! And feel free to quiz one of our Sixth Docents to test their newly-gained knowledge of our church! They are Joan Gaul, Carole Emerson, Fred O'Leary, Dave Wood, and David Miller.Share the Warmth! EECM's Annual Coat DriveDo you have coats and jackets taking up space in your closet that never get worn? Why not donate them to East End Cooperative Ministry's homeless clients? EECM is accepting new and very gently (lovingly, even) used coats and jackets. Especially needed are men's coats in extra large sizes. Coats may be dropped off at the barrel located near the back doors of the chapel at Sixth. More information can be obtained by contacting Dave Wood.

Did you miss the Houses of Worship tour? For some photos and a transcript of the pre-tour lecture (imagine Squirrel Hill as cornfields!), see http://www.eecm.org/event.htm#howat.
