| | | | Food Pantry and Distribution | |
ECLC Employer Celebration Brunch | Every Thursday morning, students from ECLC in Chatham come to the church to help sort food donations, check expiration dates, organize storage shelves, and stock the food pantry. This partnership between the Chatham United Methodist Food Pantry and ECLC is truly mutually beneficial. The students gain valuable work experience and develop important life skills, while we are incredibly grateful for the dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work they bring each week. | This Tuesday, Rev. Jeff and Catriona were invited to attend ECLC’s annual Employer Celebration. It was a heartwarming experience to join representatives from 29 other organizations that also provide employment opportunities for students with special needs. Hearing the students speak about their work experiences and how meaningful these opportunities are to them was both inspiring and deeply moving. | | | |
