Empty Bowls - Feeding the Hungry

Do not miss out on Wesley House's event this Friday, October 19, 2018,  from 11 am - 2pm. Bowls will be $20, there will be soup, tours and a silent auction. All proceeds go to our emergency food pantry.

This is the third time I have purchased an "empty" bowl that was created by a local artist. Each piece is unique and beautiful. My purchase of a $25 bowl (pre-sale)  allows Wesley House to purchase 6 1/2 meals from Kansas Food Bank. 

Wesley House is an outreach mission of First United Methodist Church in Pittsburg, Kansas.  It was established in 1982 to address the needs of low-income families in the area.  The mission of Wesley House is to provide a safe, welcoming place for individuals and families of Crawford County to seek assistance, advocacy, education and hope for a brighter tomorrow.  The ministry has grown and evolved through the years, but the primary purpose remains the same- to reach out with God's love to those who are in need in Crawford County.

Parents as Teachers

Parents as Teachers (PAT) is an early learning program designed to provide practical and timely information to all families including single parents, first-time parents, and expectant parents.

Parent Educators share age-appropriate child development information, addressing parenting concerns, and engage the family in activities. In addition, they coordinate group connections, screening, playgroups, and provide resources.

I  utilized this program with my son to determine developmental milestones and learning opportunities. To learn more about what the program offers, click here.
