VOLUNTEER FOR THE BUTTERFLY PROGRAM
It's Spring....and Butterflies are emerging from their winter hibernation, longing to be free. Won't you help to free someone; from hunger, lack of nourishment, and feeling unloved? Become a Middle Butterfly!! Join the Preparation Team at 9 AM in the Afterschool (basement) or the Distribution Team at 12:45 PM (Social Hall closet) to deliver throughout Tompkins Square Park. The more Butterflies, the more flowers we awaken and transform. Leave a note at the office for either Randy Minor or Danita Branam for more details.

THE CLOTHING CLOSET AND FOOD PANTRY
The Middle Church Clothing Closet is open on Monday evenings from 4:00–6:00 PM and is in need of volunteers. If interested in volunteering, please put your information on the sign-up sheet on the community table in the Social Hall. Donations are needed for the Clothing Closet. All gently-used items and sizes are accepted, but we especially need men’s clothing of all sizes, larger women’s sizes, work attire, new packages of undergarments and socks, and winter coats. All items should be clean, unsoiled, and folded neatly. Donations can be dropped at the main office daily.
The Middle Church Food Pantry, which feeds 65 people each week, needs volunteers to distribute food each Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM. If you are interested, please email Melinda Cruz at mcruz@middlechurch.org

MIDDLE CHURCH COMMUNITY CHILDREN’S MUSIC
