The Food Bank has given us a unique outreach opportunity to provide food for food insecure children during the summer. We are looking for individuals who would like to host them at the church. You will set up tables and chairs and sit and interact with the child and their families while they eat.
Right now, the commitment is for 2 hours on Wednesday (10:30am-12:30pm). However, there is the potential to serve breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, depending on the number of volunteers we get.
For more details, sign up and Barry Jones will contact you!

We would like to provide food every weekend to children who are identified as ‘food insecure’ by teachers and guidance counselors at our local schools. The bags contain kid-friendly food for six weekend meals, and snacks. You can DONATE to help purchase items (choose "BackPack Buddies" in the dropdown) or you can grab a card off the wall at church and return the item to the bin on any Sunday. If you have any questions, please reach out to Amanda Hohl at Amanda.hohl422@gmail.com.
Items you can purchase: INDIVIDULALY PACKAGED nonperishable food items. The best items for Backpacks are: fruit cups, cheese and crackers, pretzels, cereal cups, oatmeal packets, cookies, granola bars, packable tuna salad kits, soup cups, ramen noodle packets/pasta bowls, macaroni and cheese boxes, and instant mashed potatoes.
