Atlanta, Georgia (September 22, 2004) ? Atlanta based Moore Colson, hosted a ?lunch and learn? presentation this past Friday, September 17, by MUST Ministries Communications and Special Events Coordinator, Joyce Tripp-Miller. Joyce provided a perspective look at the organization?s daily operations, as well as an overview of the special needs at MUST Ministries, a local non-profit, faith-based organization, which helps those in need with food clothing and housing. At the conclusion of the presentation Moore Colson presented MUST Ministries with a monetary donation as well as a collection of essential supplies from toothpaste, deodorant, paper towels and plates to soap, shampoo, sunscreen and laundry detergent. The two organizations plan to team up throughout the coming year, to work on a number of projects assisting those in need.

According to Joyce Tripp-Miller of MUST Ministries, there are many ways to help. ?People tend to think we need can foods, which we do, but there are so many other things we desperately need like seasonal items, gloves and coats to underwear, socks, men?s boots and work shoes. Not only can one donate goods?, says Joyce, ?but they can also donate their time. For instance, we are always in need of volunteers to cook and serve meals or collect, assemble and distribute food boxes. We serve three meals 365 days of the year, so volunteers are the backbone of MUST?.

?Moore Colson and MUST Ministries are planning to jointly participate in a program, ?Toys are a MUST?, to help provide families with toys for their children around the Holidays.? Says Leah Manderano, Moore Colson?s MUST Ministries project coordinator. ?We hope our joint efforts can make their holiday season a little brighter?. We have been involved with MUST Ministries for almost a year now, and have recently stepped up efforts to really make a difference.? Says Leah. ?MUST Ministries provides such a gift to the community, much more than one would think. We hope Moore Colson can help make a difference. We think our help is a MUST.?
