Once again, we are supplying food for Beaverton High School students over the 2022 spring break. We hope to provide 4 cans of high protein soup (10 grams) as well as individually wrapped candy to each of the 120 designated students, who are homeless. So far, we need about 164 more cans of soup (recent progress in donations have been great). As you purchase bags of wrapped candy for your special Valentines, please consider buying extra or donating your extra to BHS homeless students for their Spring break food bags.
Our target date for gathering all of this is Sunday, February 27. Please place your donated soup and candy on the rack in the box by the Chapel. Your donations may be brought to the church on Sundays or during the times listed below.
Food Cupboard hours are the preferred times for delivery.
Mondays, before 8:30 am or from 11:30 am to 12:30pm
Wednesdays, from 6:00 pm to 7:00pm
Thursdays, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
If these times do not work for you, donations may be brought to the church office during scheduled office hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm or Fridays, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Finally, Fran Jensen (franjensen@frontier.com) or Mac Macpherson (macmacpherson@hotmail.com) are able to pick up your donations. You also have the option of giving a monetary donation to Bethel UCC for "Beaverton Homeless Youth," and the project members will shop for you.
