Wednesday, December 04, 2024: Mobile Food Pantry

/

Let's work together on December 4, 2024.  St. John's UCC in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church will host a Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry at 1550 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.  Volunteers will gather at 5:00pm, distribution begins at 6:00pm.  We are an equal opportunity provider.  Last month, we served 144 households, 420 individuals, 178 children, 90 seniors and 13 veterans.  A total of 26 awesome volunteers moved 7,660 pounds of food.  Three new people joined our volunteer crew:  Mary Rose Johnston and sister Cathy brought neighbor Fern, who knitted and distributed hats and dishcloths.  A small donation of surplus food was delivered to UCOM by Richard Johnston and Jeffrey Dick.   For more information about the Mobile Food Pantry, feel free to contact Teresa Markoski at 616-690-4566 or at tmarkoski2004@yahoo.com.  Finacial support is always welcome by donating on the church app or by writing a personal check to St. John's United Church of Christ, 1934 Bridge Street, 49504.  It takes a village to feed our neighbors, together we serve.

Hello Everyone, Well we made it thru election week and now we need to figure out our way forward--supporting and caring for each other.  Tomorrow we remember our veterans and thank them for their service to us and our country.  I am thinking about Ryan--my fellow canvaser in Ottawa County--he joined up with the navy last Monday--Just a wonderful young man.  We continue our discussion of "Kitchen Table Wisdom" by Rachel Naomi Reman.  We are reading and discussing section 2, "Judgement" Pages 33 to 72.  Take care of yourselves over the next few weeks.  Blessings--Barb
