Gospel Garden Givers
This summer, we will again work with St. Mark’s Church to provide fresh vegetables for our food insecure neighbors through the New Canaan Food Pantry and Person-to-Person.
It’s easy to donate extra produce from your home garden for distribution to those in need. Just drop off your veggies at the Gospel Garden located in the back of St. Mark’s Church on Monday mornings from 9:00am-11:00 am; email Debbie Shew, scwheatenterrier@yahoo.com (our Gospel Garden liaison), and she will arrange for a pick-up.
July Dinners for Pivot
Our friends at Pivot continue to be food challenged as a result of the pandemic.
Their main source of food, the Connecticut Food Bank, is not a reliable source of healthy and varied dietary options. If you can cook and deliver a dinner to Pivot this month, please follow this link to their meal train.
If you would like to stay and serve that dinner, or visit Pivot for a lunch, contact Mary Aly, maryaly@pivotministries.org.
Will You Be a Mission Sponsor?
Our fish are excited and thrilled to be serving on a YG trip in just under two weeks!
