  • The Shaws:  School supplies

    We are also starting to collect school supplies to give to kids in the Fall. A new friend at a church here in Oregon got us connected to someone who is donating a bunch of backpacks, so we're looking for folks to help fill up those backpacks. This is something that Sacred Road has done each year in White Swan and we're excited to do the same in Warm Springs! If you're interested in helping out, please e-mail me at eshaw@sacredroadministries.org for the full list of school supplies we need.

  • Missionary visit 8/2

    Save the date! Missionaries will be coming to visit on Wednesday, August 2nd.  More details to come!  

  • Marshall Twp Community Day 8/26

    Our church will be hosting a booth at Marshall Township Community Day on Saturday, August 26th.  We could REALLY use your help!  We are looking for volunteers to either help setup the booth or to help lead a children's game or craft.  If you would be willing to donate some of your time that afternoon, either between 4-6 or 6-8 PM, please reach out to the missions committee at missions@covcommunity.org. 


    P.S. It's a very family friendly event, so feel free to bring the whole family!   We'd love to see you there!

    Living in Liberty operates a thrift store in the Pittsburgh area. Our store, Repurposed for the Thrifty Shopper in You, is located on McKnight Rd. and boasts two stories of gently used housewares, furniture, books, clothing, and more.

    Our repurposed store provide critical, financial support to sustain the rest of our work as an organization. 

    Repurposed volunteers spend time at the stores helping to sort & price donations, maintaining orderly displays and racks, cleaning, providing handyman assistance where necessary, and assisting or waiting on customers. Other volunteers may help to coordinate or participate in our monthly furniture donation pick-up runs. Some volunteers may also assist in collecting necessary donations for weekly distribution by our street outreach teams.

    Volunteering at the store may be a weekly or monthly commitment, or may be a one-time group volunteer opportunity.
