Volunteer Opportunities

Peace Food Shelf

Peace collects and distributes bags of food to those in need in our congregation and community. Non-members with identification may receive food monthly.  Members and frequent visitors may receive food more often.  The food shelf is open Thursdays 9:00am-11:30am, and some evenings by appointment.  Most of the food is contributed by Peace members, although some is collected by area schools and the Boy Scouts.  Grab a post-it note on “Sticky Sunday” with items that are needed.

 

 

 

Peace Meal

Peace Lutheran Church serves a tasty and friendly dinner for the community and our congregation from 5:00-6:00pm on Wednesdays. Please note that peanut products may be served.

Anyone who wants to make a freewill donation to cover the cost of their meal is welcome to do so, but it isn’t necessary.

If you are interested in volunteering to help serve the meal, there are sign-up sheets in the Fellowship Hall.

 

 

Holiday Food Baskets

Peace provides a week’s worth of food plus a full holiday meal for families in need in our community and our congregation at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. At Christmas we also provide a gift for each child in the family.  Holiday baskets are packed on the Monday evening before the holiday and delivered or prepared for pick up on Tuesday morning

 

 

Meals on Wheels

Volunteers from Peace deliver hot meals to shut-ins in the community. Peace drives every nine weeks and has to have 12 drivers every day that week.

 

Quilting

Peace members work together using donated fabric to make quilts for Lutheran World Relief, Habitat for Humanity and other charitable organizations. Quilters meet the fourth Tuesday of the month from 9:30-11:00am.
