SHOW Pantry
donations accepted throughout July
Supportive Housing of Waterloo (SHOW) has opened an apartment complex for 30 individuals who have been living without a home. The 23 men and 7 women moving into this building pay rent-geared-to-income and have a lease just as any other apartment building. What they don’t have is money left over for the rest of life’s needs. You can help stock SHOW’s in-house pantry! WMB will have collection boxes at each entrance during July to collect the following items for SHOW tenants: rice, pasta, spaghetti sauce, soups, beans, cereal, canned fruit, coffee, tea, deodorant, and hand soaps. This is one way we can demonstrate God's great love and care for all people, through his Church.

Highlight on Stewardship
We have each been appointed by God to oversee the things that happen in His kingdom, and therefore it is our responsibility to manage the resources He has given us; time, people, the environment, money, etc.
WMB's regular Stewardship and Budget reports can be viewed here. If you have questions regarding WMB's budget, please contact Kim Knight. For more information about ways to give to the work of the Church, view our "Giving" brochure.
