(Emergency Care Help Organization)

ECHO provides food and clothing to those in need of short-term assistance in the Brandon area. Its primary means of support comes from the generosity of local civic organizations, churches, businesses, and citizens -- it gets no funding from any local, state, or federal agency.

Would you like to help? ECHO always needs non-perishable food items:
Canned Meats (tuna, chicken, etc.),
Peanut butter, Cereals, Canned pastas (Spaghetti O�s, Beef-a-Roni, etc.), Snacks (crackers, granola bars, cookies, etc.), Powdered drink mixes (Kool-Aid, Tea, etc.)

Diapers (sizes 4 and 5) are also needed.

Place your items in the wooden box in the breezeway labeled "Food Pantry" and they will be delivered to ECHO.

Contact: Therese Roberts through the church office.

Simply Giving�

An easy way to make sure your gifts keep on giving � even when you're away
______________

Many members of Immanuel have discovered the convenience, reliability and safety of this automated program offered through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

The program is designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to our congregation (or to pay tuition at our school), by letting you make your gifts or tuition payments through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account.

So, when you're up north on your summer vacation, or even when you're unable to get to church, your gifts are still making a difference.

You determine the frequency of your automatic gift�weekly, semi-monthly or monthly�the option is yours.

Your gift or payment is deposited into Immanuel's bank account on the same day it is withdrawn from your account�at no cost to you or the church/school.

See Irene Davis in the church office or Rich Steinbrueck, our Thrivent Representative, to learn more about the program and for enrollment forms.
