Food Distribution Update January 2022

Dearest Food Distribution team,

Thank you so much for your faithful service to the community.

We appreciate your willingness to labor with us through 2 very difficult years of uncertainty for many of our families.

As we head into 2022 we are thrilled to continue this work and grateful for your support and labor of love. Great news! Facebook boxes return on the 18th!

We appreciate your responses to the survey. So many of you indicated you want to continue to provide this vital service. Some of you indicated that you wanted to engage more with families and we will provide this opportunity! This is great input! It has been GU’s sweet spot for over a decade – proximity to the poor by forging relationships.

It’s a new season for our food distribution work and we will be making the following changes effective FRIDAY 1/28:

We are forever grateful for the partnership with Peninsula Covenant Church for over a decade. Tuesday, 1/18 will be our LAST DAY serving from PCC’s parking lot, though our partnership with them as we serve our community is one we value and will continue in other ways. We started offering programming to schools and have only grown from there! A very special shout out to our dear friend Sharon Seeberger for over a decade of support and encouragement of the mission of GU. We still have much to do together!
Be on the lookout for our review of 2021 and the amazing results from this past year. As well we launch volunteer learning groups to include resources that will equip us all to be better neighbors. Our first topic on 1/28 is The Power of Proximity!

Don’t forget: TUESDAY JAN 18 is our last day hosting Food Distribution from the PCC Parking lot. We move to the Salvation Army on FRIDAY, 1/28.

See you soon!
