Five Bethany members and friends showed up at the church Food Closet volunteer morning on January 30 to lend a hand. They prepared products for packaging, filled bags and boxes with produce and canned goods, helped unload the donation trucks, and transported food to clients’ cars for them.
On this particular day, about 150 people received food at the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership Food Closet, which is located at Bethany.
Bethany has pledged to provide five volunteers on every fifth Monday. “Five on the fifth”—easy to remember and easy to participate!
The next Food Closet volunteer morning ordinarily would take place in May—however, due to the Memorial Day holiday we are rescheduling our volunteer day to Monday, April 3, 8:30-11:40 a.m. This is during Holy Week, an ideal time to remember the works of Jesus. Watch for sign-ups
Many thanks to volunteers Manh Van Ong and Nga Chau, Marcie Hettenbach, Barbara Aberasturi and Cathy Sapunor.
