(March 23, 2017) The Church Mouse of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Berlin continues to be active during the spring, donating to a half dozen other groups and nonprofits.
That includes the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, foodforthepoor.org, the Greater Berlin Minority Scholarship Committee, the Worcester County GOLD Easter basket program, the senior citizen scholarship at Berlin Area Ministries United and the Lori’s Angels Walk MS team.
“The Church Mouse tries to search out for things that are going on locally,” organizer Helen Wiley said of the outreach programs. “We like to find out what’s happening in the lives of our citizens give them support to let them know that we’re here for them.”
Wiley also runs the Church Mouse Thrift Shop on 101 North Main Street in Berlin and accepts donations of new and gently used clothing and other items.
“Once we get those products in, then we can take that profit and help local folks and various organizations within the town and beyond,” she said.
Wiley was at the Berlin Visitor’s Center on Friday to hand a check to Lori Heinz-Giampa of Lori’s Angels. An active volunteer at the Berlin Visitor’s Center, she was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis in February 1994 and is planning the 2017 Walk MS event in Salisbury.
“I’ve gotten quite a bit of support,” she said. “Last year, we had 32 participants and I’m hoping for even more this year.”
Heinz-Giampa will hold a fundraiser for her team today, Thursday, from 4-7 p.m. at the Five Guys restaurant in the White Marlin Mall in West Ocean City.
Lori’s Angels will participate in the Walk MS event in Salisbury on April 23 at the Salisbury Town Center. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and the event starts at 9 a.m.
As of Monday, the event has raised $31,582.10. Lori’s Angels is the second-leading team, having raised $1,135.00.
