Do you pray that you could do something to help end world hunger? You can! In 2010 the Garden of Hope (GOH) was started. Its purpose is to grow vegetables which are then distributed to area food pantries and to those in need. Since the start of the GOH, a total of 350 pounds of produce has been given to those in your own community. If you are interested in helping, there is a sign up sheet in the Narthex or you can contact Emily Leto. If you know of students or scouts in need of service hours, we would love to have their help.
