Transcript of Community Outreach Program Newsletter Oct 2012
Remembering Bill Orndorff
William Henry (Bill) Orndorff, of Salem, passed away
unexpectedly on Saturday, July 28, 2012, after a wonderful
morning of doing what he loved, cycling and spending time
with his family and friends. An avid cyclist, Bill enjoyed many
opportunities to travel and cycle at home and abroad.
Bill believed in supporting the communities where he lived and
worked. He was a very strong supporter and Board Member of
the Community Outreach Program. He was a member of the
Rotary Club of Salem, and a past member of the Roanoke
Valley, Strasburg, and Front Royal Rotary Clubs.
Clothes Closet
Thank you Life Scout Shane Foley for the new Clothes Closet
and classroom. They’ve already been put to good use! We still
need donations of girls size 10 fall and winter clothing in good
condition.
COP has started and we are off to a great start serving 100
children at 4 downtown UMC churches: Fairview on
Wednesdays, St. Paul on Tuesdays, West End on Tuesdays and
Trinity on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Please keep West End in
your prayers as we find temporary solutions for the kids while their
building is being repaired.
We have a great group of loyal volunteers but need more!
We’re looking for groups to purchase, prepare and serve dinners
at St. Paul on Tuesdays.
COP continues to struggle with transportation challenges. We
dropped from 5 vans to only 3 usable 15 passenger vehicles and
are in desperate need of a quality 15 passenger transport. This is
a great opportunity for a mission in your church because without
transportation COP is unable to reach these children in local
neighborhoods. If you would like to donate to this cause please
call 540-342-3103 or e-mail [email protected]
We’re off and running!

Christmas Angels
Christmas Angels will be out by the end of
October. Every child receives a Clothing Angel
and Toy Angel each valued at a maximum of $50.
These gifts help share the spirit of Christ's coming
with children who might otherwise be forgotten at
Christmas. COP delivers these angels while children
are at school, in order that these gifts may be
given on Christmas day by their families. You and
your Church or Organization can help by adopting
COP Christmas Angels and returning gifts between
December 2 and 17.
For information please call 540-342-3103.
