We continue to give thanks for the strength and fruitfulness of our partnership with Lift UP (Lift Urban Portland) and the Lift UP food pantry, housed on our campus. Each week hundreds of households in our neighborhood are fed because we have opened our doors. New this year, in order to help keep the shelves of the pantry stocked, together with Lift UP, we have created a calendar of specific foods to collect in our donation bins, located near the office in the Sanctuary Narthex. For the month of January, Lift UP is asking for boxed or canned soups and chilis. Donations can be dropped off on Sunday mornings or anytime during the week when the church office is open. Don’t forget to check back each month on which items to bring as we continue to help in the work of responding to food insecurity in our community.
