Lenten Offerings

The Pandemic is still affecting food availability not to mention rising costs at the grocery store. St. Andrew’s parishioners have given generously from their abundance before, and we can do it again! Many of our brothers and sisters in need depend on the food bank to put nourishing food on the table for their family. Let’s overflow the Narthex with food donations during the season of Lent!
 
Starting Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, please bring non-perishable foods to church. There will be labeled bins in the Narthex. **See specific list of goods needed below.** Thank you in advance for your generosity!

If you would like to make a monetary donation to FamilyWorks directly, click here to pay by credit card online, or mail cash or a check made payable to: FamilyWorks to P.O. Box 85420, Seattle, WA 98145. Monetary donations at this time of year go to the general food bank, but also to a special order of PIES for our neighbors!
 
When you make a donation of food, neighbors and families gain access to much needed resources. In turn, this can also:

• reduce anxiety from food and resource insecurity,
• improve health and well-being,
• and provide an increased sense of stability.
