Neighbors Helping Neighbors

The Corner Shelf is the food shelf we run here at Woodland, and lately we’ve been busy finding new ways to serve our community. Recently, we started working with two schools and a local church, providing emergency food boxes to families in need.

We’ve also had an uptick in people asking how they can help. So, here are a couple things you can do:

1. Think through whether you have neighbors who might need help getting food and ask them about it. Even if they’re in good shape, it’s likely they will appreciate your concern.
2. If you do have neighbors who need food, but they’re unable to come to the food shelf, you can do “proxy pick up” for them — up to five different families at once! Just get in line with your car on Wednesday or Thursday, following the instructions here.

Paula Bowlby, our Outreach Associate Pastor, says, “We hear back that these boxes of food are a bright spot for families. If you’re in a difficult time and you have food in your cupboard that you like, it can make a world of difference!”

Please continue to pray for people in our communities who don’t have enough food, and that the food ministries at Woodland can continue to meet these needs.
