BORDERLANDS PRODUCE RESCUE
Starting in November, we will once again host a monthly drive-through at Dayspring Arcadia. Volunteers are needed to pack food boxes of approximately 70lbs of produce. This is a great chance to spend time in the neighborhood, interact with neighbors, reduce food waste and bring healthy food to local families. Our next event is November 20 from 6:30 - 11am. Please email Amy with questions or to volunteer.
GIVING SUNDAY
Stewardship Sunday is November 21st. Please prayerfully consider how you might participate in our mission of making God's world more peaceful, just, compassionate and inclusive through our actions in the community. The last year and a half have been so difficult as we had to curtail many ways in which we traditionally serve in the community. As we learn to live in this new reality, we will be challenged to meet the future with hope and imagination of how we can become better neighbors in our community and the world. May you feel the excitement of the days ahead of us as we work together to build a new vision for the future! Make Your Pledge
THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
Our annual Thanksgiving food drive is on November 21 from 8:30-noon. All collected food and turkeys will be donated to the United Food Bank in Mesa. We will have a refrigerated truck to collect frozen turkeys and non-perishable food items, including canned beans, peanut butter, pasta, canned meats, canned fruits and veggies, and rice.  We also accept cash donations that will also be donated to United Food Bank so they can purchase fresh produce, meat, and dairy.
