Continuing our focus on hunger, the special offering for the rest of September will go to our local Kitchen Cupboard. Together we can truly impact the problem of hunger. Many of you know that September is traditionally when we take a special offering for the School Nurses fund. Happily, at this time, the fund is financially very healthy! However, we have recently learned that our local Kitchen Cupboard, on the front lines of our local hunger initiative, is in dire need. Did you know that our canned goods donations only account for 5-10% of what they need to operate? As of the last ACT meeting, Kitchen Cupboard indicated that they have only $3000 on hand for buying food. They are now spending $4 to 6,000 each month due to increased local need! To respond in a timely way to this urgent appeal, our September special offering will benefit the Kitchen Cupboard. Thank you for your continued generosity which surely serves as witness to the local community!
This Sunday our Children and Youth programs resume. We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.
Blessings,
Laura Lee and Manda
