We regularly collect toothbrushes, travel-size soaps, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, diapers (including adult sizes), etc., for the residents of Father Bill’s / MainSpring House. Special requests: adult-size shower shoes, combs, hair brushes and feminine care products.
Let’s Laugh Today Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 11am-12pm. Bring water to drink and a donation (non-perishable food for the Sharon-Stoughton Food Pantry or travel-size toiletries for Father Bill’s / MainSpring House).
**PEANUT-FREE** Lunchmaking for MainSpring House All ages are welcome to help make the 100 peanut-free lunches we donate once each month. Remember to bring personal-size items like shampoo, soap, etc., to be delivered with the lunches. See special request notice for additional items.
Recycling Opportunity Do you have gift cards that can’t be reloaded or expired credit cards you’ve sliced up? Our Social Justice Committee has found a recycler who will accept them. Bring them to the Social Justice table on Sundays.
Meditation and Study Group NEW TIME We meet from 7pm – 8pm on Tuesdays, alternating personal seated meditation with other methods. Instruction is available and the group is always open to new participants.
Book Group meets in the library at 7pm on the first Wednesday of most months from September through June. You are welcome to join us, even if you haven’t finished reading the book. See details elsewhere in this scroll.
Shopping for Justice We purchase grocery cards at a discount and sell them at face value. The difference helps to fund our Social Justice work. Cards for Big Y, Shaw’s and Stop & Shop are available during coffee hour.
We support the Ilsa Marks Sharon-Stoughton Food Pantry year-round (and are among the few organizations that do so). The need has continued to grow. Please leave your donations of non-perishable food in the entryway.
Movie Night Join us at 7pm on the 2nd Friday of each month from September through June. Enjoy the movie, lively discussion and free popcorn.
Need a Gift? Depending on store policy, you may be able to use Shopping for Justice grocery cards to purchase other types of gifts cards (e.g., for restaurants, department or home improvement stores, or online music vendors), thus extending our Social Justice programs.
Not Just Another Coffeehouse Join us at 7pm each third Saturday through June for music, snacks and Fair Trade coffee/tea. Not a profit-making enterprise. See details elsewhere in this scroll. (Occasionally it’s on a different weekend.)
Conversations at the Meetinghouse Join us at 7pm each first Friday Oct. through June for a presentation and discussion about a topic of interest.
