St. James Food Pantry Garden
We have been blessed with a BRAND NEW food pantry and now we need to help keep it stocked! The youth of St. James will be taking on the task of a garden that will stock our pantry with fresh produce all summer long when the shelves are at their lowest. It may be snowing now, but planning will be going underway soon! We will be in need of dedicated youth and parent volunteers to help with planning and caring for the garden. Please contact Lynette if you and/or your family will be interested in helping!
Nazareth Farm Update

Many hands make light work!
Over 18 volunteers came to honor Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Day of Service by preparing 100+ bagged lunches that were donated to the St. Ambrose Soup Kitchen. Volunteers got elbow deep in jelly and worked together to pack and prepare all the lunches in under 20 minutes! Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedules to do something great for your fellow community members!
