Many Ways to Help Our Food Ministry
Our food ministry program needs more help from the congregation. Please review and complete this survey (here) which includes a list of all the ways you can volunteer. There are many options and some can be done from home. You don’t need to make a long term commitment, just check out the experience and decide from there if and how you want to help. Contact Rose Lynn Abesamis-Bell or Tom Huetteman if you have questions
