Upcoming Events
Butler’s Pantry
The Lord of Grace Outreach Team will be collecting personal hygiene items for Butler’s Pantry to support our friends at Roadrunner Elementary during the month of April. Items needed include the following: toothpaste, shampoo, bodywash, soap: both bar and liquid, deodorant, feminine hygiene products. There will be a white basket labeled Butler’s Pantry in the narthex to drop your donations in! Thank you so much for supporting this ongoing outreach in our community!
As I write this article for the newsletter, later today (Friday March 29th) we will be preparing dinner for the women at Sister José Women’s Center (1050 S Park Ave. in Tucson). We will be serving lasagna, bread, salad and dessert. See next month’s newsletter for an update!
Continuing Events
Marana Food Bank
The Marana Food Bank would like to request that we continue to collect hygiene items this month as they are really needed. The most needed items are: toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, dental floss, chapstick, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, deodorant, feminine pads, and razors. Let’s help our neighbors have access to these essential items.
Donated items can be placed in the wooden cabinet located in the hallway outside the Fellowship Hall. Please remember that the food bank cannot accept any food items that have been opened/used or expired. Also, please no glass containers.
If you would like to donate and keep your gift for the needy of Marana, you can send a check to:
MFB-CRC

PO Box 968
Sahuarita, AZ 85629
Please make checks payable to Marana Food Bank – Community Resource Center or MFB-CRC. You can also donate online at http://mfb-crc.org
Your monetary gift goes a long way. Every $10 helps provide 50 meals.
Past Events
Lutheran World Relief Baby Care Kits
We completed our first drive for Lutheran World Relief and it was a big success. We assembled the baby care kits together at the March Community Day event and mailed them to the LWR warehouse in St. Paul where they’ll be distributed to countries in need. Thanks to everyone for making this a big success!
