An Easy, Fulfilling Way to Make a Difference!!
Our Temecula Food Pantry Ministry is seeking more volunteers to help us provide breakfasts on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. It is easy to participate. We put your email address on our list and, as we coordinate the next breakfast, you receive an email asking what you might be able to bring; maybe a breakfast dish, or just some fruit, a bottle of juice, some bagels, whatever you can. Please contact Barbara Pugh at (951) 264-9980 or email if you are willing to help in this ministry, and she will add your name to our volunteer email list.
In Barb’s own words:
“Do you enjoy getting big smiles and heartfelt thank you's? Here is an opportunity to participate in a mission that will make you feel so blessed in God's service that you will smile all day. The Temecula Food Pantry mission is one of those services in which you receive as much as you give. The first and third Mondays of each month, you have the opportunity to join us in serving truly hungry people who are grateful and need the food we provide. If you are the least bit interested in this soul-satisfying service, please call, text or e-mail me.”
