Hi Everyone!
Where has the summer gone. It seems like time fly’s by so fast. Fall is at our back door already. Soon the leaves will be turning beautiful colors and falling. Snow on the ground and the holiday season will be here in a blink of an eye. We don’t want to have to think about having to pull out the shovels and snow blowers – that means snow and cold weather. We pray to the Good Lord that he gives us a wonderful, safe holiday-winter season. Only he knows what he has in store for all of us. When he needs us he will take us in the palm of his hand and show us the way.

We would like to start by thanking all the wonderful Charitable Deeds members, churches, businesses, organizations, and the public for the donations and the help that you give to Charitable Deeds. Without the help of all you people, Charitable Deeds would not be able to help as many people in the community that needs help. So on behalf of all the families we help each day “THANK YOU”
 
Charitable Deeds is being recognized by the United States Senate.

 “God’s love” for the world is so wonderful. He makes our life magical, and so beautiful. Even in hard times, we can put our trust in him. He doesn’t take a salary from us at the end of the day, it is just his love for us that brightens up our way. There’s never a teardrop that God doesn’t see. He knows when a sparrow falls from a tree. There’s never a moment when God doesn’t care., Never a time when he won’t hear our prayer.

Hi everyone!                         
 
What an amazing year 2016 has turned out to be. We are now in our 15th year, and in all those years, we have not turned one worthy person away that needed our help. We hope that God will continue to bless us in the New Year. This would not be possible without the Good Lord and you wonderful Charitable Deeds members, churches, businesses, organizations, and the public for the donations and the help that you give to Charitable Deeds.

We want to also thank Clarion Hospital, the churches, and all the individual people that also donated to help put a smile on a child’s face. This is such a great thing A.B.A.T.E and all involved have done at Christmas time, when parents worry how to get that present under the tree. We know presents aren’t the meaning of Christmas, but try telling that to that child looking at you wondering why Santa did not come to them. We also want to thank the Clarion Mall for the use of one of their stores and their toy donations. Remember if you see the A.B.A.T.E   boxes setting around town, drop in a present. It sure does put a smile on the face of a child. We gave out a total of 936 presents before Christmas.

• We have now started our 15 annual Winter Utility Campaign on October 10. The money raised thru this campaign goes to help the poor and needy in Clarion, Venango, and Forest counties. There are so many families that are trying to figure out whether to pay the bills and have heat and electric or buy food and prescriptions. A lot are going without food and prescriptions. We pray that we can help each one of these families. Flyer on additional page for this fundraiser.

“PERHAPS WHEN WE COME FACE TO FACE WITH OUR MAKER, HE WILL NOT ASK, ‘HOW MANY POSITIONS DID YOU HOLD?’
BUT RATHER, ‘HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU HELP?’ 
IN REALITY, YOU CANNOT LOVE THE LORD UNTIL YOU SERVE HIM BY SERVING HIS PEOPLE.”

Hi everyone!
     Can’t believe that it is September already, where has the summer gone? Hard to believe that snow and cold weather is right around the corner. Just like the wild animals outside they are preparing their nests for winter. Even though it is still hot out and people are sitting at the pool and even have their air conditioners on, there are also people preparing their nest to get thru the long, cold winter months
.
     Charitable Deeds & Services was started by John Kerle & Lisa Kerle November 6, 2002.  Since its creation, Charitable Deeds has helped so many people in so many different ways. Whether it be food, clothing, furniture, financial assistance, etc. Charitable Deeds has grown beyond our expectations. If it wasn’t for all you wonderful, gracious individuals that donate your time, talent and financial aid this would not be possible. Each and every one of you that are a part of Charitable Deeds and Services, whether you are in the front lines or behind the scenes.

      I wish you could see the tears in the eyes and the gratitude that we see, especially when these families have nowhere else to go for help. Yes, there are individuals that get our help that someone thinks might not need it. No one knows what hardship someone else is going thru. We believe that if it wasn’t meant to be, God wouldn’t have sent them to us for help. There are guidelines that are set by our board on income guidelines that are followed. God sees and knows what you have done to help his people, and you will be rewarded one way or another. We miss the members that God has taken to be with him, but we also look forward to meeting new members that want to help do the Lord's work and help his people.
​
     We would like to thank all the Charitable Deeds Members as well as the churches, businesses, organizations, and the public for their donations. Without your support Charitable Deeds would not be able to do what it does to help these needy families. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your support.
