Faith in Action: Thurston County Food Bank

The Rev. Dr. Beth Echols

The Thurston County Foodbank has reached out to St. Benedict Episcopal Church to help with the crisis of hunger in our neighborhood.  This is an opportunity for us to put ‘the hands of Christ’ to service.

I plan to participate as my schedule allows and am scheduling a time for Student Chaplains to serve.

"We strive to provide healthy, nutritious food to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity, ensuring they have what they need to thrive. Hunger affects people of all ages and backgrounds, and the need has never been greater. We rely on the dedication of volunteers like you to help us distribute food, host drives, and assist with packing and sorting food donations."Eliminate Hunger Within Our Community, in the Spirit of Neighbor Helping Neighbor.'  is to 'Our mission." At the Thurston County Food Bank, we are on a mission to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. We are reaching out to invite you to join us in this essential work by volunteering your time and talents to help those in need."
