Bethlehem on Broad Street
Collections through November 24
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:40 NIV)
Bethlehem on Broad Street (BOBS) began 30 years ago in response to a single request for dinner on Christmas Day at the St. Lawrence Haven. This event has expanded and evolved with efforts from diverse faiths, denominations, and non-religious organizations throughout Central Ohio.
On Saturday, December 7th, the annual BOBS event returns to Broad Street United Methodist Church, located at 501 E. Broad Street. This year the BOBS mission will be distributing essential supplies to our UNDERPRIVILEGED and UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS, loading backpacks stuffed with SURVIVAL AND HYGIENE supplies. King Avenue has been invited to participate in this important mission by sponsoring backpacks. The total suggested donation for sponsoring one backpack is $50. Each backpack will be loaded with supplies including Toilet Paper, Wash Cloths, Toothbrushes, Batteries, Emergency Blankets, Hand Warmers, Flashlights, and other sundries, as well as some fun items such as candy and puzzles to ensure a Merry Christmas for ALL! We are already collecting monetary donations for this event. We hope to have all donations submitted by November 24, 2024.
