Greetings Foodies!
.
It was a great day at the Food Pantry! At 3:00 we had a training class for volunteers who will be doing “Intake” on all clients — certifying them as eligible to receive USDA food. This is an annual requirement by the USDA, so the first few weeks in July are extra busy. And speaking of volunteers, I believe we set a record this week as 30 individuals gave of their time (some more than once) to help the food pantry ministry at Covenant.
.
If you have never volunteered here before, come join us on Wednesday at 5:00 to see first hand what it is that keeps our volunteers coming back! And if you are interested in exploring a leadership position in the Food Pantry, please contact Carl or Pastor Stella.
.
Thank you to all our supporters and volunteers, and as always, please pray for all our clients.
