Volunteer at the Abundant Harvest Table!

Every Sunday

The Abundant Harvest Table is powered by a small group of dedicated folks, many in their 70s, who do a lot to keep it going. If you’re able, signing up is a simple way to share the load and support the people who support all of us. If you're unable to volunteer, you can also help by making a donation, which supports our homeless ministries. Click here to donate to the Harvest Table.

One More Volunteer Needed for Laundry Sorting Party!

Saturday, October 3 | 10 am - 12 pm

Once the laundry from our Family Promise is cleaned, we need to sort it so that it's easily accessed for the next set up. This is a fun time to visit with old and new friends as we put things away. There is bending and some lifting, so if there are any teens who want to help they will be welcomed. The group will meet in the FE wing and sort the laundry into bins, then place it in the Family Promise shed.
