 Second Mile Giving
“Second-mile giving” refers to an extra offering toward a special cause. Our second mile giving for March goes to ELCA World Hunger. By providing immediate relief to those who are hungry, ELCA World Hunger meets basic needs and recognizes the universal human right to food. But ending hunger is about more than food. By connecting people with the resources they need to produce food and gain access to clean water, education, health care and sources of income, long-term, sustainable change can be accomplished.
 Offering can be given through Tithe.Ly or mailed to the Church Office at 504 Baker St.
*If donating to Second Mile Giving, please note "2nd Mile: Hunger" in your preferred offering method. Thanks!
