On Sunday night, the offices of The Contingent, the organization George Fox partners with for Foster Parents Night Out, Every Child Oregon, Act Six, and MyNeighbOR, was broken into and ransacked, resulting in a significant loss of possessions and damaged property.
Among the stolen items were thousands of dollars of gift cards and items that were intended for crisis response for the children and families they serve.
The Office for Spiritual Life would like to invite our campus to serve and encourage this longtime partner by collecting gift cards ($10-$50 to Amazon, Target, Fred Meyer, etc.) so they might continue their important work even while they recover from this major setback.
If you are able, please bring gift cards to the SpiL (Barclay) House or send them through campus mail anytime between now and Thursday, Feb. 11.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
Thank you!

What emotions do you struggle with? Is it paralyzing fear, red-hot anger, or deep sadness? Our emotions offer so much vitality for life, but when we are not in right relationship with them, they can cut us off from ourselves, others and God.
