Our first semi-annual document shredding event, is this coming Saturday, May 9th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., or until the shredding truck is full, whichever comes first, in the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church parking lot. This is your chance to get rid of old personal and business papers such as income tax returns, bank statements, and utility bills, safely and securely. The cost is $10.00 per banker’s box volume. All net proceeds go the church. For details, please contact Dave Mulholland.

The United Church Women will be hosting a speaker from the Back Door Mission, located in downtown Oshawa, on Wednesday, May 13th, at 1:00 p.m., in McKay Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The Back Door Mission provides 150 lunches daily, and snacks are provided for anyone to take with them. Donations of drinking boxes, fruit cups, puddings, granola and breakfast bars, individually wrapped cookies, and small bags of chips for this program are greatly appreciated. The Mission also needs women’s and men’s socks, underwear, and toiletries. Please leave all donations in the bins in the narthex, clearly marked “Back Door Mission,” (so that they don’t get mixed up with the food bank donations.)
