In the cold winter months, it’s harder than ever to provide enough food for those in need, but Hope Clinic continues to serve a hot meal in take-out containers six nights a week. Additionally, sack lunches are offered to anyone who struggles to find adequate food in between those meals. These are simply paper bags with shelf-stable food items like pop-top ravioli, granola bars, fruit cups, juice boxes, etc. Things that don’t require heating and are ready to eat.
Hope distributes around 600 lunches a week, so this is a constant need. Once again, Westminster’s Mission Team is mounting a food drive to provide 48 lunches in the month of February to help our friends at Hope Clinic.
However, we also know that some of you might prefer to donate money for this project and have someone from Mission Team do your shopping. To that end, we will also be accepting monetary donations to purchase food items for our lunches, if that is simpler for you. Checks can be sent to church with the memo line: Hope Sack Lunches, or you can use Westminster’s online giving page.
Drop off items at Westminster now through Sunday, February 23rd. If you have questions or would like to help with the packing out of the lunches on Wednesday, February 26 at 10am, contact Lynda Berg.
Matthew 25:35 – For I was hungry and you gave me food.
