Thank you from Krislund
Thank you everyone who so generously and enthusiastically brought in caps and lids for the “Caps for Krislund” project.   The Sorting Party held in March resulted in 1,234 pounds of caps and lids sorted and bagged.  The camp now has 5,251 pounds of caps and lids that will be transported to the plant that utilizes these caps in the fabrication process to create chairs, benches, and picnic tables.  The lids and caps are “redeemed” to purchase items at a discounted price for use at camp.  Folks at Krislund are assessing what items will best be suited for such use.  There are caps at camp in the unsorted inventory enough to satisfy the needs of Krislund.  Therefore, Pine Street will no longer be accepting caps for this project.  Again, everyone at Krislund Camp is very appreciative of all your interest and support in this highly successful project.

COVID TEST KITS COURTESY FROM HOMELAND CENTER
The government sent an overabundance of testing kits to Homeland Center, so they chose to share them with us along with other churches and agencies in our community.  For those of you who may not be aware, Homeland Center is a senior care facility located in Uptown Harrisburg between Fifth and Sixth Streets.  Historically, Homeland was founded by a group of 18 women who were members of 9 area churches.  Pine Street Presbyterian was one of those founding churches!
The kits are free for the taking and will be available to us for the upcoming months for our personal use.  Please note the kits have an expiration date on them, but
have been deemed to be current and usable for 23 months beyond the stamped date.  The tests will be made available in a basket at our Welcome desk.  Please read the notice
posted beside the basket, which will answer many of your questions.

April Giving Barrel
Pine Street’s Mission Committee has dedicated April’s Giving Barrel to the homeless and hospitalized veterans.  Our donated items will be appropriately sorted and delivered to the two groups of veterans.  Below are listed the items that are most needed and requested. Let’s fill the Barrel for those who have given much for our country.

Items needed are:

  • small bottles of water
  • large and small bottles of sunscreen
  • small and large bottles of body lotion
  • 3 in 1 bottles of body wash
  • brushes and combs (no rat tails)
  • small boxes of band-aids
  • reading glasses

All these items can be found at the Dollar Tree.  Thank you!!
