Feeding Others
Great Big Bag Food Ingathering
Brown grocery bags are a signal to care for hungry people in our community. Twice a year, in early summer and at Thanksgiving, St. Paul sponsors a “Great Big Bag Food Ingathering” to help stock the shelves of the Friendly House Food Pantry in Davenport.
Meal site serving
About eight times each year, St. Paul volunteers cook and serve a meal for the Churches United Meal Site at the Salvation Army in downtown Davenport.
Kids Against Hunger
With two events under our belt, St. Paul people team up to help package life-saving meals. These are sent around the world to starving or malnourished children. It’s a great day of congregational unity and giving back on a global scale.
ELCA world hunger
Individual gifts to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal support hunger relief, long-term development projects, and advocacy efforts in the U.S. and around the world. World Hunger envelopes are available in the sanctuary pew racks. St. Paul’s budget also earmarks special mission support for Lutheran World Relief for international disaster assistance.
