At our monthly Dinner Church we collect food donations for the 4 food boxes we fill on the 4th Tuesday of the month in Bellingham. It’s fall and folks are needing shelf stable food, and fruits and vegetables that can stand the fluctuating weather. We are grateful for the work of the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters to bring nourishment (and love) to their neighbors in need. Monetary donations are also welcome to purchase foods to round out each box (often ready to serve/eat meals).

Last month we filled the Northwest box first, and then after filling the other 3 we went back around in what we call the “great bean migration” to ensure that each box has a mix of different types of foods, and found that the box in that 30 minutes had been almost completely accessed! So filling the boxes and feeding others is needed more than ever, especially at the end of the month when money is tight. Thank you, thank you for your contributions!

We’ll collect our next donations at Dinner Church on October 23rd!
