Our Lenten project involved collecting food items for Feed My People. Because of health concerns, the Early Childhood Center has restricted access to the building, making it difficult to pack up the items for transport to Feed My People.

After consultation with Outreach Ministry members and Sandy Stevenson, we decided to donate the items collected to Early Childhood Staff, as we understand that the number of children at the center is dramatically down, and that many staff will probably soon be on lay off.

Kathy Shelton told me that Megan and the staff are very grateful for our decision. Feed My People is always in need, and perhaps we can plan another food drive in the summer.

The Outreach Ministry includes Angel Team, which tries to match volunteers with those in the St. Philip’s community that have special needs. While our potential volunteers are “socially isolating,” there still may be things we can do to help and support each other. Often, just a phone call can be very helpful, so consider calling a fellow church member just to visit, and to see if there are any special needs that we may be able to meet.

Stay healthy!
