| Food Pantry Volunteers Needed Wed and Thurs PLEASE SIGN UP
THIS MONTH WE ARE REALLY ENCOURAGING OUR INTERNATIONALS TO HELP
|
Each month our Wesley Foundation serves over 1000 persons in need a week's worth of groceries. This is a huge undertaking as we convert our foundation into a food pantry (grocery store) each third Thursday of the month. We need to unload a semi's worth of food, set up tables open boxes and direct traffic. At the end of the evening we need to tear it all down and clean up. You do not need to speak English to help as much of it is "manual labor." This is a great way to see another side of America.
Food Pantry volunteers are needed for many jobs throughout the month, but especially the days and hours leading up to, and through, distribution on the evening of the 3rd Thursday of the month.
Training for persons who have not yet be trained will be Wed at 7:00pm and on March 17th also at 8:30pm. Training lasts a little over an hour and is required for all persons volunteering for all Thursday shifts (except clean up). You do not need to be trained to help at other set up or cleanup times.
Some of the times you can volunteer include (you do not need to work the full time slot):
Wed. Mar 17th 12:30-2:00 pm Truck Unloading, 18 persons each hour
Wed. Mar 17th 6:30 - 8:30 pm Food Setup
Wed. Mar 17th 7:00 pm Training for volunteering on Thursdays
Wed. Mar 17th 8:30 pm Training for volunteering on Thursdays
Thurs. Mar 18th 2:00 - 4:30 pm Final Set-Up (Training Required)
Thurs. Mar 18th 3:00 - 5:30 pm Registration and Number Handout (Training Required)
Thurs. Mar 18th 4:30 - 7:30 pm Food Distribution (Training Required)

PLEASE sign up ahead of time online so we know who will be helping or going through training.

| Spring Break Mission Trip to Louisiana needs cars & drivers
|
If you have a car and haven't nailed down your spring break plans, we could use you. We have a group of 14 students going to Lake Charles Louisiana to help do small home repairs. This area of Louisiana struggles with chronic poverty and then was hit very hard by hurricane Rita. We will leave early on March 20th and return late on March 27th.
The cost of the trip is only $250 but expect to work while we are down there. We will also have one tour day in New Orleans. If you are interested please email Pastor Rob As Soon As Possible (ASAP).
| Events Coming Later This Semester

To Be Announced
Come learn about the Organ and even practice playing on it.
