Here is how you can help:

Volunteer – In your mailboxes today you will find a sheet that details how you can volunteer.

Diaper Donations – We need diapers in all sizes! In the lower narthex, you will see a baby Pack ‘n Play where you can leave your diaper donations.

Monetary Donations are welcome at any time. Please mark your donation for “diapers” and place it in the offering plate or the offering lockbox in the narthex.

Please pray for this project—that the clients we serve will experience the love of Jesus through the care they receive.

 

NW FOOD PANTRY

Holiday Baskets – There was a flyer in your mailboxes about how you can partner with the pantry to provide a Thanksgiving or Christmas basket to people in need in our neighborhood.
