✨ Gratitude Spotlight ✨

Since 2021, The Hub Wesleyan Church in Dornsife has been creating and donating "Satchels of Strength" for guests in our safe houses and housing programs. These handmade satchels, crafted from fabric scraps and filled with essential personal items, provide comfort and care to survivors in their time of need.

This incredible act of kindness began as a tribute to Heather Campbell, a beloved congregant who was tragically lost in July 2020. Her memory lives on through this meaningful gesture, as her family and church community continue to make a difference in honor of her life.

This morning, we picked up another generous batch of satchels from Pastor Jonathan—a true testament to the power of compassion and community. 💜

To The Hub Wesleyan Church and everyone involved in this heartfelt mission: THANK YOU for your continued support and for being a light to survivors on their healing journey.

It has been quite a while since we have posted anything. We are going to strive to post more frequently and keep everyone updated on the going ons of Satchel's for Strength.

This year has been a very busy year for Satchel's of Strength, and we are in desperate need for any donations. Please see the pinned message to see what items we accept for donations. You may come by the church and drop off on the bench out front or you can contact us here and we can set up a time to meet you at the church. Money donations are always accepted, and any check can be made out to The Hub Wesleyan Church.

We currently partner with Transitions of PA, By Grace Women's Transitional Home, and area pregnancy centers. We also provide these bags to people in need, on a case-by-case basis.

We ask that you pray for this ministry as we strive to meet people where they are and love them to the cross.
