Bless the Gardeners of American Lutheran : Bless the gardeners of American Lutheran

Our gardeners are providing a wonderful assortment of fruits and vegetables for our produce table. Our members are walking away with every last item, which would indicate that an even greater volume of produce would be welcomed! When we stop to think about the current economic situation, there is no doubt about the help that your donation for the Grant County food pantry is going to provide for many in our community. This is a win-win situation. We are enjoying
fresh produce and someone else is also seeing food on their table through our contribution. As a consumer, prayerfully consider what your response should be. Thanks to all who are participating in
this project.
