Marana Community Food Bank
The Marana Resource Center recently received a pallet of peanut butter. So, they would be
grateful for jelly (in plastic containers) to pair with the peanut butter. Also, they have a need for
cereal.
Let’s get our neighbors off to a good start each morning with these favorites! Donated food can be place in the wooden cabinet located in the Narthex. Please remember that the food bank cannot accept any food items that has been opened/used or expired. Also, please no glass containers. If you prefer to make cash donations, they are always welcome, and can be mailed to Marana Food Bank, 11134 West Grier Road, Marana, AZ 85653.
Every $1 helps provide 4 meals.
Current and ongoing projects
Roadrunner Elementary-Lord of Grace Partnership
The Outreach Team will be continuing our work on Tuesday mornings at Butler’s Pantry, the
community resource center at Roadrunner Elementary from 9am-12pm. There will be a sign-up
in the Narthex on Sunday. We will meet Tuesday mornings at the LOG parking lot at 8:30am
and carpool to the school. If you have questions call Phyllis Teager 520-906-1837.
In addition, Carol Buuck and Phyllis Teager met at Roadrunner Elementary with Kristina Brewer on March 28, 2023 to discuss in what other areas we can help them. More to come later.
Upcoming projects
Easter Breakfast
The Outreach Team will be sponsoring the Easter Breakfast this year. We'll be serving breakfast from 7:45-8:30 and from 9:30-10:30. We will be serving buttermilk pancakes, sausages, fruit and pastries. Coffee, tea, and orange juice will also be available.
We're looking for volunteers to help setup and prepare the fruit on Saturday April 8th and to help prepare and serve food and clean up on Sunday April 9th. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex. The breakfast is a fund-raiser for Roadrunner Elementary School.
We hope you'll be able to join us! Any questions, contact Corliss Jenkins-Sherry at minicjs333@gmail.com, call her at (520) 262-4271, contact anyone on the Outreach Team. Thank you!
San Juan Bautista Lutheran Church Work Crew
We've been asked by San Juan Bautista Lutheran Church at 1130 E Bilby Rd in Tucson to help paint their fellowship hall in preparation for their 70th anniversary celebration on April 30th. We're looking for people who would be interested in being on the work crew. Dates would be Monday April 10th to prep for painting and April 12-13th to paint. They need one wall painted and we're hoping if we have enough people signup for the work crew that we can paint all four walls. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Thank you for considering! Questions? Contact Chris Kollen at lizzykollen@comcast.net, anyone on the Outreach Team, or Pastor Lars. Thank you!
