Have you heard about SANDWICHES FROM HOME?

"Sandwiches from Home" is an outreach opportunity for folks to participate with family and friends in their own home, on their schedule, preparing sandwiches to be donated to New Journey Community Outreach for their noontime bagged lunches.

Your next opportunity to donate SANDWICHES FROM HOME, to support the 1500 bag lunches New Journey Community Outreach prepares each week, is coming up!

We suggest 20 meat & cheese sandwiches of your choice- each individually bagged, labeled, and then packaged together (see pictured example).

Delivery options are:

SUNDAY January 7 - before or after worship (church kitchen refrigerator)

MONDAY January 8 - 9:00-2:00 (church office)
