My small group, Jedi's For Jesus, is currently doing an outreach called "1001 Blankets". Our goal is to collect or raise enough money to hand out 1001 blankets to the homeless and needy families in Albany/Lee County.
When we first started out, we were shooting for just 300 blankets, but we remembered Hebrews 11:6. "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." We realized that 300 blankets, while a great goal, was pretty easy to attain. We felt the call to up the ante. To set a goal that was impossible without God. 1001 blankets was that impossible goal.
As a result, we have gotten tons of media coverage. WALB & The Albany Herald picked up the story and we got some great response from those. We have set up drop-off stations all around Albany/Lee County.
Join us in our "Revolution of Compassion" as we seek to warm hearts and change lives. If you would like to help us purchase more blankets, you can send a check to:
The Pointe
PO Box 4818
Albany Ga, 31701
Memo: 1001 Blankets
You can also drop off blankets at the following locations:
- Automotive Necessities
- Gill's Electronics
- Griffin & Co. Insurance
- The Pointe Ministry Office
