Hooser Hills Food Bank has exciting summer ops
Hoosier Hills Food Bank is in need of volunteers for the summer as college students head home. They are also embarking on two new programs to help meet the hunger need in our community. Gleaners are needed to help in the summer and fall to rescue produce left in fields after harvest and gardeners are needed to help tend produce plots. For details go to http://www.hhfoodbank.org/glean.htm.

CareFest 2009 Save the Date October 17, 2009
CareFest is an annual church-wide day of service in our communty that will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2009. Hundreds of volunteers work at local agencies doing everything from landscaping to painting. Families are encouraged to serve together as this is a great way to teach children the value of serving others with no strings attached. Mark your calendar now and save the date. You will not want to miss out on this great day of serving others, just like Jesus did.
