Project: Feeding Families - DUE ON MONDAY!

2020 has taught us that we need each other more than ever especially when it comes to sharing our resources with those in need. This holiday season, we invite you to participate in this community wide project to insure that the children in the Centennial School District who are in the most need, have food resources available during winter break.

St. Mark, along with other area churches, are collecting financial donations which will be used to purchase grocery cards and will be distributed through the schools directly to those families in greatest need.

St. Mark's goal is to raise at least $1500 towards the overall goal of $6000. Financial donations are due at St. Mark by December 14th

You can either drop off a check/cash or donate through the website by following this link (donate under Project: Feeding Families)

Other ways you can help out:

Write cards of encouragement to the families of our community which will accompany each grocery gift
Pray for all those who hunger and are living with food insecurity in our community.

If you have any questions, contact Jenny or Pastor Mollie - Thank you!
