![]() The Georgetown Project Board of Directors and Staff would like to
express our gratitude for the $25,000 Seeds of Strength grant for
the Eagle's Nest project. This funding will enhance the capacity of
our organization by allowing us to hire a coordinator for Eagle's
Nest, a drop-in center that will provide important services after
the school bell rings to teens living in transition in our
com-munity, and who are qualified as homeless by Georgetown ISD.
Eagle's Nest is the first outreach of its kind in Georgetown, and
without the ability to hire professional staff we would not be able
to open the doors this fall, so the SOS grant is both timely and
sincerely appreciated.

Montana Mike's and Sirloin Stockade Restaurants have an
ongoing program benefiting churches. When you dine in either or
both of these restaurants, ask for your receipt. Take it to your
church. The church saves all the receipts they get and
periodically turns them in and receives a check in the amount of 5%
of the total receipts from the corporate office of these two
restaurants.
Christ Lutheran Church in Georgetown has designated that one-half of
such proceeds will be donated to Bridges to Growth, a program
of The Georgetown Project. The other half will go to Water to
Thrive, a program that helps build water wells in third world
countries.
If you wish to donate your receipts to Christ Lutheran Church, to
support Bridges to Growth, the church is located at 510 Luther
Drive in Georgetown, OR, you can drop the receipts by Bridges to
Growth, 805 W. University Avenue, Georgetown, and we will see that
they are delivered to Christ Lutheran Church. We are open on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 am - 7 pm.
We thank these community partners for their support and hope that
you will participate in these fundraising activities. If you need
more information, please contact Jane Hazelton, (512) 864-3008.
