City Highlight: Los Angeles
|
 Living in the heart of the community that we serve gives us a new
perspective on the people and places we come in contact with. Part of
living here involves using the local laundromat to wash our clothes,
which is not something that I have been accustomed to in the past.
Looking for creative ways to donate to CSM Los Angeles? Check out their "Wish List". Items include mattresses (covered in plastic), a vacuum cleaner and more. Feel free to print it and post it - and please don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions! |
Handing out Hope in Philly
|
 As I was looking back on the summer here at CSM Philly I felt that there was a void and that we missed something. We had some great groups that learned all about the city, themselves, and how to serve others but there was a richness that was missing. The thing that was missing was Joetta & Roy from Hands of Hope ministry. |
Looking for Gifts that Make a Difference?
|
No need to look any further! CSM has a solution for you - our Christmas Catalog! Choose from a variety of gifts, such as one day's fee for a scholarship participant or urban missionary support. Take a look and consider giving a gift that aims to restore, renew and rebuild urban communities throughout North America!
