Food Pantry at Lake Merritt UMC

The Wednesday night small group served at the Lake Merritt UMC food pantry this past weekend.  CCUMC volunteers there every 2nd Saturday of the month, and many have signed up over the past year.  Most of the clients who come to get food are Asian seniors who speak mainly Chinese, so volunteers who speak Chinese are very beneficial to this ministry.


About 250 people were given a grocery bag filled with an assortment of canned and fresh foods, and breads.  It's really easy to help prepare the bags, so sign up to serve in the future!
