Daron Butler, pastor of cross cultural missions at the Wooster, Ohio, Grace Brethren Church, announces Tax Relief Day outside the post office in Wooster on April 15, when U.S. tax returns are to be in the mail.
Daron joined Jeana Harley, outreach events coordinator, and others from the church to offer a unique “stimulus package” as customers brought their tax returns to be mailed. “People were very grateful to receive free postage and refreshments to enjoy while they waited in line,” Jeana reports. “We also offered water and cookies to those driving up to the post boxes. “
“A few people stopped to chat with us, wanting to know who we were with and such,” she adds. “One man had already stood in line once when he found a letter in his car that he forgot. He was not excited about waiting in that line for a stamp and was so excited when I offered him a free one. It was interesting to watch the reaction of people as they came to the Post Office.”
The group, who was armed with three dozen cookies and several sheets of stamps to distribute for free, weathered cool temperatures to set a warm tone for the day.
