Our church fellowship has assisted the Swan Valley Food Bank in helping the needy in the Swan Valley.  Some individuals volunteer at the Food Bank on a regular basis. Most recently, the youth participated in a food drive collecting over 1,000 pounds of food. We are presently promoting the Grow-a-Row project where gardeners designate an existing row or an additional row of vegetables in their garden for the Food Bank. Pray that God will use these acts of love to advance His kingdom.
