"Welcome Ministry at the Church of the Messiah"
PLEASE consider, if you are replacing your winter coat or other winter clothing this year to donate what you are no longer needing or wearing to the Food Bank Welcome Ministry.
Last winter with your help and overwhelming generosity, the welcome team was able to offer coats, warm sweaters, socks, gloves, hats, and much more to those struggling with food insecurity and the high cost of day to day living.
We need your help again this year as; unfortunately we know these struggles and challenges will be as real this year as it was last.
Any Thursday or Sunday you may drop off your (gently used) donations to the Church or call Susan or Mary to make other arrangements to drop off your donations.
THANK YOU!
