First Lutheran Supports Local Charities
Food Donations for BRICK MinistriesLast spring when COVID-19 was upon us and we recognized the need for face masks, people from First Lutheran, including Joyce Olson and Leann Hess, began sewing masks for distribution locally. Johnson's Store allowed us to begin offering a free face mask in return for a contribution of food for the BRICK Ministries food shelf. Parishioner Laurie Gucinski, who also works at BRICK, has reported that in the last three months she has brought over 256 pounds of food to BRICK, donations from the face masks.
BRICK is open in Cornucopia at the Town of Bell Community Center on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays from 10am to 3pm. Laurie welcomes additional food donations to BRICK delivered to her house or she will pick it up. |
The Fig Leaf Thrift Shop new hoursThe Fig Leaf Thrift Store is now open for business Monday-Saturday, 10am-3pm.
New donations are accepted everyday during business hours with a limit of 3 bags or boxes per person. Proceeds from the Fig Leaf come back to area communities in the form of monetary donations. |
News & Updates from Gayle Gonsior's Mission Trip to Honduras - February & March 2024
Supplies for Honduras Ministry
Gayle Gonsior will again be going to Honduras to serve people in need of basic health and physical help. Could we as a church fill a duffle bag with supplies that cannot be bought on site and pay for the handling of that bag on the airplane? There is a posting of needs in the entry. Please speak with Gayle or Annette Flaig if you have any questions.
