Here are some M & SC opportunities :

• Save the date-SICM annual Crop Walk is on Sunday, May 5 at the Emmanuel Friedens Church.  Consider joining our youth group in this event to combat hunger in our community or make a donation to further the cause. Additionally, there will be a “Fill the Food Van” canned or boxed  food drive to provide needed supplies to the SICM food pantry.  These items can be collected in Fellowship Hall and delivered by our walkers. FYI-The Food Pantry’s total meal distribution in March 2019 was 60,885 meals, a significant increase over March 2018’s distribution of 26,955 meals. Food insecurity continues to grow and more families need help.
