For the past 3 weekends,
BASIC has been leading the charge to collect canned foods and dry goods from the Federal Way/Auburn neighborhoods for the
Food Bank. The last collection run was done in the freezing cold last Saturday, December 12.
During this season of want, we realize that there are still many who are in need. As we did last year, our youth group, assisted by several adult volunteers took to the streets of our immediate neighborhoods and collected literally
vans full of donations from the community. It turns out people do want to give, they just don't know how. As the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, we at NWCM promote the idea that the church should be a channel for givers to connect with needs - and that's what the food drive did.
It is such a
blessing to be a part of an activity that truly makes a difference in the lives of others and we hope that we can accomplish even more in the Name of our Savior in the coming year. Thanks to our youth group for their leadership in this area and thanks to Fred Meyer, Safeway and Trader Joe's for supplying us with the grocery bags for this effort. Thanks to everyone who took time and effort to distribute notifications and collect the bags. Most of all, thanks to those who gave.
