Sign-up sheets for assembly at 9 a.m. (wearing masks and gloves) and pickup/delivery at 10 a.m. on March 27, are on the table at the bottom of the stairs near the South Park Road entrance.

City Mission Food Sundays are the first Sunday of every month. Some things have changed - the mission no longer picks up food donations, so we will need a few volunteers to deliver. COVID has really impacted donations coming in and they are in desperate need of food for their pantry. Please see the list above for more details on staple items they can always use. No glass please. There will be a box/bin outside the kitchen the first Sunday of the month for your donations. If you would like to make a delivery to the mission, please contact Jill or Roger Kurtz. Thank you for remembering those struggling to put food on their tables.
