As we have come to the end of the first month of my tenure as Director of the Infant Resource Center, I’d like to take a moment to express my gratitude and excitement for what is to come. This program has been a pillar of our church ministry for as long as I can remember, and I’m honored to be chosen to oversee it. In going through files, photos, and boxes, I’m reminded of the women who came before me and the love and work they put into supporting our neighbors in need.
I’d like to thank Anna, Karen, and Gena for spending time showing me the ropes and answering more questions than they may have expected. I’m also grateful for the outpouring of encouragement I’ve received from the congregation. Serving the community in this way is not an easy task, but I know helping hands and loving prayers will always be at the ready.
My goal will be to keep you updated on the IRC’s impact and ways you can support the work. In the coming weeks, I’ll complete an inventory of items we have, meet with community partners to determine ways we can collaborate, and start mapping out what the rest of 2026 will look like. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas, especially for potential funding!
Thanks again,
Sara Jenkins
