The National Benevolent Association recently assumed ownership of two facilities in Central and Northwest Missouri, providing 100 homes for low-income older adults. Princeton Manor, Trenton, has 60 apartments arranged in 15 one-story buildings. Both properties, built in 1977, were constructed as for-profit investments. The association also began managing Willow Creek II in Eldon as of Jan. 1. It has 24 apartments for low-income older adults.
Youth stationed at sanctuary exits collect the donations and send the proceeds to a local charity.
Many churches also collect canned goods on game day. A Disciples minister, the Rev. Randy Kuss, Indianapolis, represents the denomination on the Souper Bowl advisory committee. Kuss is a Homeland Ministries associate for youth ministry. In her new positions, Brooks will be responsible for staff employment, orientation and training, and office coordination. She is currently manager of staffing and employment for BellSouth Telecommunications.
