On Saturday, March 13 we will have our first quarterly neighborhood food distribution of the year at Eastside Church of Christ in partnership with Metropolitan UMC.

The Montgomery County Food Bank has had a temporary lack of pantry items, so we need your help to make our food distribution the best it can be. We will be collecting food donations on Thurs., March 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in front of the Chapel and Sun., March 7 from 8:00 a.m. to noon in front of the Sanctuary for the following items:

If you would like to get your neighborhood involved, you can organize and run a neighborhood food drive. Download our pre-made card, print, and write the date you would like to pick up your donations. Then, share your cards with your neighbors a few days before your pick-up date. On your pick-up date, just go to the neighbors who received your card and see if they left any donations for you. Finally, bring your donations to the church on March 4 or March 7. The youth will organize the donations into 200 units to share with the families during our food distribution.

Our blood drive went so well, we have scheduled our second one for the year on Sunday, March 14 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The blood drive will occur in the Asbury Room this time. Please sign up here.

Remember to look through our Compassion and Justice Resource List to find out the many ways you can serve in our community!

Blessings,
