Community Outreach

Chili Feed for The Front Porch

In case you haven’t heard, the Presbyterian church has a free coffee house, The Front Porch, located at the end of Foothill literally on the property line with Cal Poly. The Front Porch, through the support of community groups, offers a free “to go” dinner on Wednesdays.

Our next service opportunities will be on Wednesday, April 14, and Wednesday, May 12. We make chili, coleslaw and muffins, package it up in quantities to serve 4, and deliver 20 bags to FP. This will be our third time and we’re getting more efficient.

We’ll meet at church at 10 a.m., and we’ll be done by 2 p.m. Some of the tasks can be done at home. We mask, we distance, we keep the window cracked for cross ventilation, and we have a good time gabbing.

To help out, call or text Patti Frey at 805-235-1938. Thanks.

Friends and supporters of Iglesia Luterana Santa Cruz are invited to the Multicultural Fair being hosted by Saint John’s Lutheran Church in Arroyo Grande on April 24 at 2 p.m. There will be music, food samples, silent and live auctions and a raffle. Proceeds will be divided equally between the “Feed the Workers” program at Iglesia Luterana Santa Cruz and the ZOZU Project that funds the meals and education of students at Solid Rock Christian School in Arua Uganda. Attendees are asked bring their own folding chair and mask for an afternoon of fun outdoors to support these worthy ministries. Contact Pastor Pat Muran at (805)459-2338 or Sandy Lebens at (805)459-4891 for additional information.

Matching Gifts Challenge Benefitting the SLO County Food Bank

The new donation site is up and running. Please click the link below for more information.

Link to Mt. Carmel matching funds page

If you prefer to donate to the matching funds challenge by check, make your check out to the SLO County Food Bank. Write Mt. Carmel Matching Funds Drive on the memo line so that your donation will be properly credited. Mail to:

Food Bank Coalition of SLO County
1180 Kendall Road
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

Please do not route your food bank donations through Mount Carmel. Doing so will delay your donation and make tracking the matching funds challenge donations difficult for the food bank.

Thank you to Mount Carmel for your always generous spirit!
