SATURDAY LUNCH

Every Saturday we offer a free sack lunch for for the community.  The lunch has a sandwich, fruit, chips, carrots, a treat and milk.  Lunch is provided on Saturdays between 10:30 am and noon.

People can help make these lunches and hand them out.  Everyone wears gloves and a mask and we monitor physical distancing. Workers open the church at 10:00 am and make the lunches. Everything is provided.  There are supervisors that oversee each Saturday.   Anyone can help including children.
