Government Shutdown Response
|
|
The Board of Internal Ministries wants to be prepared to assist members and school families who have lost government food assistance (SNAP) as of November 1. The Food Pantry Team will be conducting a special appeal on the next two weekends to refill the Food Pantry fund. We will purchase extra grocery store cards through LuHi Shoppers Blessings to meet this potential need. There will be pink envelopes at the back of the church and Parish Hall for offering plate donations, or you can contribute on-line using the Food Pantry option. Any funds remaining when the government shutdown ends will be used to support our regular Food Pantry families in the future.
