Donations to Mean Street Ministry

We welcome donations to Mean Street. Please contact Betty Fry, 303-237-0443 or Sterling Church, 303-526-9388. Due to the seasonal nature of needs some items are more in demand than others. Small donations can be placed in the bin in Fellowship Hall, of Rockland Community Church.

If you have larger donations of clothes or food, please Contact Linda Menshing (Rockland Community Church 303-526-0683 x 201) so she can unlock the garage for their storage.

With the change of season, we would love to have coats, hats, gloves, blankets, winter clothes, meals in a can, canned goods, school supplies, hygiene articles, and children’s books.

Our greatest need right now is for funds of course, then computers - CPU's, monitors, scanners, printers, etc. All parts should be in good working order for obvious reasons. These computers will be used by students in school who lack such equipment.

Money

At the sight of a greenback and the tinkel of some change, I am beginning to fall into a deep love with money. Of all the money of the world (and I love all money), I am going crazy over American cash. Ah! But I love the kyat, the yen, the lira, I love them all, but none as much as that of America. Woe! and alas! but we cannot have gold! Gold, gold, gold, my heart pleads for ye, ye source of all money. Oh! but I must settle for the paper notes, the lovely paper notes, and the beautiful coinage. And behold, I am small, and given small. But I want Big, big, big, Big in Money, money, ye source of all pleasure. Money, all power derives from thee. I want to be a millionaire, a billionaire, a trillionaire. I want mints, and the Ft. Knox.

Oh! I crave for ye, money. I love you, I need you, and I Want you, Oh Money. O money, I do, believe me, but my mother doesn't approve.
