Sack Lunch Ministry
Picture
Our neighbors who are hungry can come to Calvary between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and receive a free sack lunch. There are no forms to fill out,
just come and enjoy lunch.

Would you like to help pack or hand out lunches? Help is needed, particularly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You could help weekly, occasionally, or as a substitute. 
If you would like to help distribute these lunches, please contact Mary Sawyer through Calvary's Church Office, 253.839.0344 or office.calvaryelca@comcast.net
In 2016, Calvary served 6,474 lunches. That requires a lot of resources!  You can donate to this program in two ways:
  1. Financial.  Checks can be written to "Calvary Lutheran Church," with "Sack Lunch Ministry" in the memo line.  Donations are tax deductable. The Sack Lunch Program is run and staffed by volunteers.  One hundred percent of your donation will go to purchase food and supplies for the program.
