Join your fellow parishioners for a two-hour, hands-on event to prepare food for distribution to the hungry throughout the world. Working in a team, you will measure, sort, and pack food into portioned bags to be sent to food emergency locations, both international and domestic. Great opportunity for families to volunteer together - all ages welcome!

Messy Church families will have the opportunity to pack four days-worth of lunches for ten young adult men supported by Domus, the Stamford organization that helps these men transition to adult jobs. They do not have the resources to purchase their own mid-day meals. Help us reach our goal of $200 to pay for the supplies and food. Click to donate on Venmo -label it "LUNCHES"
