Food Packing Event

Saturday, March 21

10 AM – 12 PM

Nativity Lutheran Church

Our neighbors at Nativity Lutheran Church have invited us to help pack meal kits for Rise Against Hunger. Some may remember we hosted a similar event with Ezher Bloom Mosque in 2017. Rise Against Hunger serves immediate nutritional needs and builds self-sufficiency around the world. Packing events like this are well-organized and very rewarding.

The biggest need is for packers to work from 10 AM to noon. There are also set-up and clean-up slots available. All ages are welcome to participate (elementary-age kids need to bring their own adults).

Sign up or make a donation for this event:

SIGN UP

For questions, please see Charlotte Hicks or Deacon David.

A boy and girl, each wearing hairnets, aprons and gloves, work together at a food packing event. He pours rice into a funnel; she holds a container that catches it below. An adult looks on and other people work in the background

Serve with Us

We believe we’re called to be God’s hands in this world.

We’re sure “church” is as much in our community as it is in our building.

We seek to serve those in need and all in our community, not by working for them but with them.

SERVE WITH US LOCALLY

SERVE WITH US GLOBALLY

We know we can serve through financial support and donations of things like school supplies, personal hygiene items, Angel Tree gifts and the like and we rejoice in doing so.

We also know as important as giving is, listening, accompanying and partnering with people in need and our community broadly, in our neighborhood and beyond, are critical.

Whether you’re our neighbor (regardless of religious or other affiliation) or a GSLC member, we welcome you to serve with us.

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25: 37-40
