As a follow-up to our Christmas blog post, kudos to Lisa Burris of The Batch! Cookies baked and sold in November and December of 2009 through her fundraising ministry raised $11,200 to finance a much needed bathroom renovation project for Contact Ministries, a faith based, not-for-profit organization which has an emergency homeless shelter for women and children and provides food, clothing and other essentials to people in need in Springfield, IL. Lisa Burris was also personally responsible for recruiting Curt Trampe of Dream Maker Bath & Kitchen to donate $8,400 worth of labor and supplies to Contact Ministries for a second bathroom project. Lisa Burris had this to say about the success of her endeavors on behalf of this organization:
There are really no words to adequately describe the joy that has been mine while working towards the goals set for the bathroom projects! Thank you for the privilege of serving along side of you as we have witnessed God provide a miracle for the needs of Contact Ministries. All glory to Him and may many be changed because of all He has allowed to be accomplished.
Lisa Burris will continue baking in support of other faith-based charities and is already working towards goals set for 2010. You can learn more about her inspirational mission and how to help by ordering cookies from the On the Radar at Omni blog or a recent article in the State Journal Register.
