"And taking the five loaves and the two fish, [Jesus] looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces" (Luke 9:16-17). 

As part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) ongoing response to hunger in communities across the United States and the Caribbean, our congregation is partnering with ELCA World Hunger to raise funds for our Free Little Pantry through a Daily Bread Matching Grant.

We need your help to make sure we generate the maximum amount of support for our neighbors experiencing enduring economic challenges. ELCA World Hunger is kickstarting our fundraiser with a $500 grant. With your help, we can raise $500 or more to match the grant from ELCA World Hunger. We have until Sunday, June 20th to meet our goal. (Good news-- there is no service fee for your online donation. Online donations are needed to make the match, but if you prefer you can also send cash or check.)  Every gift truly makes a difference — thank you for your support!
