Questions?
What does House of Neighborly Service do? We are a non-profit organization that works to bring local resources, churches, civic organizations, schools and agencies together to find solutions to meet the needs of our Monroe County residents. We meet monthly, share our resources, network together to find solutions! We are in the early stages of developing our organization but the goal to truly make a difference in the lives of our residents is being done now.
Where are we now? We have opened the Western Egyptian Food Pantry on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. It is already open and staffed by Western Egyptian on Mondays and they allowed us to open it an additional day each week. We also host the HNS Help Line which was turned over to us by the City of Waterloo. If a resident is in need of support, you can call this line and we will do our best to help you find solutions! 618-939-8680! We are also kicking off our Holiday Outreach program! Be looking for future announcements!
What does the future hold for HNS? We are looking forward to sharing our mission of "Help for today, Hope for tomorrow, Hand up for life!" with our communities. We will be opening an office in the very near future where our Director, Thelma Burgonio-Watson will work to find solutions to meeting the needs we encounter. Each group that has joined us has worked very hard on their own to help improve the lives of our local residents. With all of us coming together to the same table to discuss needs and find solutions together, the impact we will make is far greater! Thank you to each agency, church, school and individual who has seen the vision and the dream of House of Neighborly Service!

Hello but not Goodbye
Today is the last day HNS is serving Seniors lunch at our two sites. It is also the last delivery of HNS -MOW.
Western Egyptian is "open for business on Monday" !
However, it is not the last time the Seniors will see our HNS volunteers . HNS have programs and special projects that include care for Seniors. Many of the Seniors have not only loved the meals and our services but have bonded with the volunteers. We started as strangers and now we are friends. Friends do not say goodbye , friends say " so long".
Stay tuned...
To our FBer friends
Stay tuned as well.
Thank you all for traveling with us through this journey.
We have miles to go to help secure that all residents , some of them our neighbors , in our County have access to quality life.
We at HNS invite you join us in our mission to care for our neighbors :
"help for today, hope for tomorrow, hand-up for life".
Enjoy the last dog days of Summer!

Prayer Quilt at the Seniors Lunch
Yesterday was food, fellowship, prayer time at the Waterloo Seniors Lunch - Real Life UMC
This is a prayer quilt made by a late friend of mine who survived the Gulags. He was a very fine tailor by trade and I believed I asked him to make this Prayer Quilt a few years ago which has been traveling with me since then. I brought this quilt to the Seniors Lunch with me and offered it to our seniors for them to write their prayer requests/ concerns on a piece of paper and tuck them in the pockets of the Quilt.
I offered this because our table fellowship has merged into sharing of stories and concerns, concerns that evolved into requests for prayers, some confidential and some may be shared openly.
I invited them to share their written requests and that we can pray for them without mentioning names to honor confidentiality, if so desired . However, permission has been given to share these prayers at Real Life, at St Paul UCC and other churches who may wish to join the Seniors in Prayer. We wish to share this at the Columbia site and invite them to write prayer requests and offer these prayers at HNS local churches or who ever may wish to join.
Quilters, do I have a special project for you! We may need another Prayer Quilt.
Please contact me if you are so inspired .
Today is a day of prayer at the Seniors lunch sites!
Let your requests be made known to God...
Thanks be to God. Amen,

Day 12 Seniors Lunch
Day 7 MOW
Thanks giving Day
Everyday at the Seniors Lunch Sites is a day of thanksgiving.
At the Waterloo site -at Real Life UMC, the Seniors come in twos, in threes and sometimes as solo. Sometimes they arrive almost at the same time, have
Table Fellowship, give thanks for the meals, share good things happening in their lives and give thanks again. They also give thanks for everyone who have made it possible to provide these hearty meals. At the Columbia site I know on the day I was there ,the Seniors expressed their thanks over and over again!
Everyday is Thanksgiving Day where we gather .
Today we specially thank the quiet volunteers from the First Baptist Church -Waterloo who help prepare the meals at Corner Pub everyday since Day 1 without which we can't do without. Hooray to Jan Dudley, Rita Trantham, Lisa Dean, Dave Dudley, Angie Ewing, Elaine Hesse and Louise Ford. Hooray for FBC!
Thank you also to Carol Kaiping, friend of Sharon Schilling and all the staff at Corner Pub.
We thank our most recent donors : Diehl's Florist, JSR Jewelry, Liz Mudd for fresh produce from their garden; and Walmart -Waterloo for weekly boxes
One of you FBers have mentioned that these Seniors Centers are "magical places". Indeed! Last Thursday I heard of how two volunteers have found out they shared some relatives, not only that, one of these volunteers have discovered that this second volunteer is the same person that her church, Real Life UMC, have been praying for , and this person is alive!( I have not asked permission to use their names for this story , but I have thanked them before for their volunteer work). And here they were connecting in person for the first time, here at this magical place of "Table Fellowship" , serving our Seniors together! As the saying goes , " how cool" that is
Today is another "Working Together - Moving Forward day" with hope that the lawmakers in Springfield will do their job soon.
We long for that day!
In faith and with courage we move forward together to see to it that no Seniors will be without meals, good hearty meals, in our community!
We believe in a God of abundance .
Thank you all so much for working with us at the House of Neighborly Service.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Message from the Executive Director!
Following are from the
"Friday -the 14th notes " of Michelle J. Garcia , one of HSS staff who is on the wheels that deliver the "meals on wheels" aka MOW.
She accompanies HSS clients , Josh was on the shift today, who serve as our volunteers and whose job is to hand the lunch box to the Seniors. This is their 5 th day of delivering MOW. HNS thanks them for stepping up to the plate to get meals to the Seniors.
However from their stories, they just don't hand the lunch.
Here are Michelle's notes :
"The Seniors keep telling us they LOVE the food! They greet us with smiles and waves every day. Josh (HSS) loves it that they remember his name and ask how HE is doing. There was one gentleman I’ve been concerned about for the last two days. Lays on the couch, says he doesn’t feel good and it definitely looked like he wasn’t. Today he was sitting up watching tv. His affect was bright. He looked so much better! Smiling and said he has been thankful for the concern I’ve shown him this week. He was very sweet.
Several seemed nervous still that we would return on Monday but we reassured them that we would be there Monday and until the Senior Center is back in business with MOW. They said they have enjoyed how helpful, polite and friendly we’ve been. The cats and dogs greet us too. We end up playing with them too
It was a crazy start, but it’s definitely rewarding for us too. We’ve only gotten to know them this week, but you find yourself being concerned when they don’t answer the door right away."
