We would love to have a St. Luke's team at this year's Hunger Walk, but we need someone to lead the effort. This is a great opportunity for those of you who care deeply about our work on hunger and food access... but who can't be here at St. Luke's on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the pantry is actually open.
If you are interested in leading a St. Luke's team at the Hunger Walk on Saturday, June 23rd please call or email Pastor Erik at your earliest convenience so that we can start making plans.
