Let’s bless ICU nurses!

The past 18 months have been extremely difficult for ICU nurses, especially. They are working tirelessly to care for the health of the critically ill patients, communicate with patients’ loved ones, and, at times, be with people in their final moments on earth. The physical, emotional, and mental stress on these nurses continues to be very heavy. We, as a church, want to bless them in some small way to let them know that we still see them and we still thank them for all that they do.

After hearing from some local nurses, we have created a list of items to put in gift baskets that we will deliver to four Austin area ICUs the week of August 29. Want to join us blessing these nurses? Find out more below!

 

Here are some ways you can help us bless these ICU nurses:

  1. Donate items for gift baskets (see list below)

  2. Join us at church on August 29 where we will be assembling the gift baskets

  3. Volunteer to deliver gift baskets to an Austin-area ICU

1. DONATE ITEMS:

Here is a list of items we will be collecting for the gift baskets. You may bring one or a few of all of the items, or feel free to bring a bulk portion of any of these:

  • Small hand lotions

  • Lip balms

  • Mints/tic tac/candy

  • Chips/grain bars/mixed nuts

  • Fun, fizzy waters

  • Canned cold brew coffee

  • Protein bars

  • Items with a big shelf life

  • [No homemade items]

You drop off the items at our worship service on Sunday, August 22 and August 29.

2. HELP ASSEMBLE BASKETS

At our worship service on August 29, we will have a designated time to help assemble the baskets and write thank-you cards to these amazing nurses.

3. DELIVER BASKETS TO AUSTIN-AREA ICU UNITS

If you are able to help deliver baskets to any of the ICU units, please let us know by completing this form, and we will be in touch with you.
