Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might
come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our
hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of
your Name. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 101)

Shaker Heights seeks donations for Hunger Network
NewsFlash

In response to uncertainties surrounding the federal SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) program, the City of Shaker Heights is asking those who live and work in Shaker to donate funds to Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland at bit.ly/hnfeedshakerheights.

Donations made by November 30 will be matched by the City, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

“I urge Shaker residents, who are able, to make a donation to Hunger Network to help our neighbors during this difficult time,” said Mayor David E. Weiss. “In true Shaker spirit, many residents have asked what they can do to assist those who rely on federal food benefits; this effort can make a real difference.”

Donations made at bit.ly/hnfeedshakerheights will help Shaker Heights Community Hunger Center meet the increased demand during the suspension of federal food benefits. In the month ahead, their distributions are scheduled for November 17, 19, 24 and 26. From January through September of this year, Shaker Heights Community Hunger Center has served an average of 84 households per month. In October alone, this site served 133 households.

Shaker Heights Community Hunger Center is affiliated with Hunger Network and distributes food at Shaker Heights Community Church, 20120 Lomond Blvd, Shaker Heights.

Yesterday we celebrated an amazing Ingathering Sunday with an amazing offering! Rather than passing the plates as we do most weeks, dozens of parishioners came forward to donate enough bags and boxes of much-needed items for several of our beloved community organizations. We laid them all at the foot of the altar, remembering that all we have and all we are comes from God, and by God’s grace we “lift up our hearts” before Christ today and always. On this day we also offer our pledge cards for 2026, recommitting to Christ’s mission for the coming year. Donations will go to St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Cleveland, Ohio, East View United Church of Christ, St Hermans, our Little Food Pantry & other local organizations! Episcopal Diocese of Ohio 😁

It was such a joy to visit St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Cleveland, Ohio to learn about their amazing ministries in the community touching those most in need. It was an honor to help make their community meal space & even the restrooms to be a place of dignity and Christ’s loving care for all. Thank you to Rev. Leah and the St. Luke’s community!
