SAVE THE DATES: Summer Heat Respite Lunch Packing is Coming!
From Kris Bartanen
Sundays after worship on June 7 and 21, August 9 and 23, and with Inspiration Academy on Tuesday, September 8. We will again make both cheese and PBJ sandwiches, accompanied by Nutrigrain bars, fruit, chips, and electrolyte powder. It only takes about 30 minutes to save lives!
We will need drivers to deliver the lunch supplies on June 8 and 22, August 10 and 24, and September 8 for pre-10:30 a.m. arrival at First Church UCC-Phoenix or the Justa Center-Phoenix.
If you would like to volunteer to join a delivery to see more of the context for the folks we serve, please let Kris know; it would be a total time commitment of about 90 minutes.
Volunteers are welcome to (1) get bread; (2) get fruit; and (3) help with set-up in the Fellowship area on Saturday afternoons or before worship. Please talk to Kris; you can be reimbursed for purchases from grant funds.
Northeast Valley Consortium partners Christ the Lord, New Covenant, and Peace in the Desert congregations will also pack, providing us with at least 16 weeks of heat respite support to Arizona Faith Network sites.
The heat respite project is again funded by a hunger grant from Ascension Lutheran (now Peace in the Desert). We will also pursue one or more Thrivent grants over the course of the summer; please let Kris know if you are a Thrivent member willing to apply.
