Very Happy Hello brothers and sisters,

I am sr. maria guevara and would like to ask for available volunteers to help at the LAAM site here in Vallejo.

Life abortion alternative ministry is a place where expectant mothers can come in and talk when deciding to keep their children. Most times, their concern is that they can't afford to raise their child so they may be forced to think about abortion. It is at LAAM that we encourage them to keep their precious children and that through LAAM's support we can give them food and clothes to support their children from newborns to 18 years old.

LAAM is funded by donations from the community. I know that St. Catherine's gives us much support when the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe comes around each year. And of course, the most important gift you guys have given us is your prayers and adopting a spiritual baby.

LAAM is 100% run by volunteers. Chris Price, the executive director for 18 years have been running the site with very few volunteers. If you have time to volunteer Tues-Thurs 1-5 pm, we would very much appreciate it! Any amount of time is appreciated by us.

Here are the following volunteer opportunities:

counselor - when confused women come in and need to talk about their pregnancy situation, you will counsel them through Biblical principles

donation clerk - going through bags and bags of clothes/toys and putting them in the correct bins for easy distribution

fundraising - plan and execute of fundraising activities to better support mothers and children

janitorial - help clean the site once a week

prayer warrior - this is the best position yet! pray that women keep their children

welcomer - opening doors, asking guests to sign in and ask them what items they would need

yard sale attendant - helping out at our monthly yard sales

check out our site at http://laam94590.tripod.com

Thanks brothers and sisters!
Check out our booth at the ministry fair this SAT!

Related to this is 40 Days For Life, a national campaign through November 2, 2008, praying for unborn children. There's a chapter in Vallejo that's participating in a vigil this very minute (yes, at 4 AM). Contact Lita Songco at (707) 649 5024 or lita.songco@gmail.com, or visit the 40 Days For Life website at http://40daysforlife.com/beniciavallejo .
