Write-up By: Benitta Joseph

Our church community recently came together for a meaningful volunteering program to support Dorcas Ministries. Caroline organized the effort by sending out a sign-up sheet for food donations, inviting both adults and youth to participate. The response was heartwarming, as many families eagerly signed up to contribute.

Noah served as the Youth Lead for this program, helping coordinate the collection of items. To make it convenient for everyone, both adults and youth dropped off their donations at Noah’s house. Over the weeks, generous contributions filled the space — including peanut butter, flour, sugar, oil, soup, noodles, as well as gently used clothes and shoes.

Although our original drop-off date had to be postponed due to a snowstorm, the delay did not dampen our spirits. Once the weather cleared, we were finally able to deliver all the donated items to Dorcas Ministries.

This volunteering program not only provided essential supplies to families in need but also strengthened our sense of community and teamwork. It was a wonderful example of youth leadership, service, and generosity in action.

Donated Items: Sugar, Flour, Vegetable Oil, Chicken noodle, Tomato Soup, Jiffy Cornbread Mix, Pasta Sauce, Pancake Mix & Syrup, Black Bean Bag, Peanut Butter, Canned Peas, Canned Beans, Canned Fruits, New and Gently used clothes, Kids shoes
