This event helps fund the church food pantry “Faith Works”, which supports hundreds of community members and their families (pantry is open to anyone, regardless of age, faith, or citizenship; we don’t ask and we don’t judge!) Proceeds will also go towards the many other resources the church offers; including creating a safe drop-in center, a community thrift shop, and future family-friendly events like this one.
