The Pop Up Pantry continues to deliver dry goods to between 25-40 clients each Wednesday. No part of this mission would be possible without our amazing crew of volunteers! They bag groceries, inventory supplies, load/ unload/ and drive the church van on delivery days. We enjoy each other and our mission! We’ve recently added some new volunteers. If you’re interested in learning more about PUP contact Kathleen Hatcher (614-843-5510) or Carla Edlefson (614-329-5380).

At their potluck dinner on August 28 the members of Women’s’ Guild groups learned about the Hope Resource Center, one of our sites. Director Scott Sanders described how the center follows the example of Jesus by providing meals, clothes, free medical care, addiction/ mental health resources and compassion to our neighbors living on the street and/or suffering with addiction and its hardships. The HOPE Center was very grateful for generous donations of personal care items from Guild members.

We are so grateful to be a part of Heart to Heart and will continue to bag and deliver food!
