Today I was told the Leeds Food Pantry is critically low. During Rise Up this am, the kids completed packing back packs of school supplies for less fortunate around the world. I asked the kids what they thought of this opportunity to serve in our own community. The kids suggested donating panty items themselves. They also liked the idea of organizing a community food drive to replenish the community pantry.
Wednesday at 3:15 the Rise Up youth will be meeting at the Leeds Lutheran Church in the study. We will then go door to door in the community asking for donations to the food pantry. We will collect items from 3:30-5:30 and then meet back at the church for pizza. Kids will be ready for pick-up at 6pm.
If you would like to help you can
-Drop off pantry items at the Lutheran Church. A box will be placed inside the front door.
-Donate your time by joining us on Wednesday.
-Have pantry items ready when the youth knock on your door Wednesday from 3:30-5:30.
-Volunteer as an adult driver (to help shuttle the pantry items and kids from donation sites to the pantry).
-Pray for our kids as they participate in this service for our community.
Thank you for your giving heart!
God Bless
