Tackle Hunger Food Drive

Help us Tackle Hunger by filling our pantry with the most needed items right now!

Bring your donations every Sunday (drop-off during the week is okay, too!) from January 19th through Super Bowl Sunday, and our Student Ministry will be happy to take them for you.

Our pantry numbers have been rising with the colder weather, and our pet food needs have also risen. Any help you can give is appreciated.

We will be happy to accept all types of food item donations. Our biggest needs are:

Canned Chicken

Pancake Mix

Syrup

Hygiene Items

Pet Food

Deodorant

Toothpaste

Monetary Donations

The WC Students are taking charge of the Tackle Hunger Food Drive this year! This means we have lots of serving opportunities for the students and their parents. We’ll need help gathering and organizing donations each Sunday morning! Sign up to serve HERE.

There are other serving opportunities available in the Grace Place Food Pantry on a more regular basis. If you are interested, please contact Ann Williams.

Hope for the Holidays

Hope for the Holidays

When you experience the loss of a loved one, the holidays become a source of added stress. The holiday no longer feels the same without that special person in your life. It's a time to be especially kind to yourself and to allow changes in the holiday celebration to meet your needs. Perhaps that's no celebration, or perhaps celebrating your loved one’s favorite parts of the holiday, is most important, but whatever it is, it is your choice.

Join in the discussion to witness our grief and to reshape our thinking about what holidays can be and how to protect your heart and yet walk through this season with God's love and the love of those around you.
