Food Ministries
|
SHARE is the food closet that is located at Federated Church. Fourteen churches in the community work together to feed families who are hungry and need food. Volunteers assist with sorting and distributing donations. The first Sunday of each month is Share Sunday, when food donations are encouraged.

Federated Farmers Market offers tables overflowing with fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs in the summer months. Gardeners donate extra bounty from their gardens and shoppers enjoy the farm fresh tastes. Donations support SHARE and local mission projects.
|
Upper Room offers a free dinner every day for the hungry in our community. Help cook and/or serve on the Federated Third Sunday of each month.
|
Two Cents a Meal asks us to put 2 pennies into a container on the kitchen table for each meal we eat while we pray for relief for the hungry and thank God for the abundance of food that is available to us. Help feed the hungry at the Upper Room by bringing your pennies on the last Sunday of the month and adding them to the 2 Cents container at the entrance to the church.

The "Little Help Backpacks" program exists to help families at Sierra School "make ends meet" at the end of each month.
We collect donations of healthy, shelf stable food throughout the month, adding fresh produce the week of delivery. On the evening of the fourth Tuesday of the month, our Junior High Youth Group packs and average of 15 backpacks to be delivered the next day. |
