Extra Volunteer Opportunities

New year, new patterns.

A goal for this year is to have a consistent cleaning schedule. Once a quarter, we will have a deep clean of the pantry.

Our first one is on 01/26/2026 from 10 AM - 5 PM.

I will have a list of projects to complete, and food will be provided.

You can sign up on the volunteer schedule link-

We will take as many hands as we can get.

Bible Verse: 

Galatians 6:6-10 ESV
[6] Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. [7] Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. [8] For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. [9] And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. [10] So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
