The Good Shepherd House Soup Kitchen serves lunch to approximately 150 people Monday through Saturdays. SAOC team serves on Thursdays. Always need food, especially large canned goods.

Inner City Ministries

 Thanks to everyone for your continuing support of this important ministry.  Your contributions from the past few months have helped to provide some warmth to those we serve through food that can be heated and clothing that was included in the holiday packages.  For the month of February, we will be
collecting peanut butter and jelly for sandwiches.  There are times when we don’t have quite enough hot dogs to go around, so we keep some peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches as back up for those who may arrive a bit late.  If we have some left, we pass them out at the end of the meal so that folks will have something for later that day that is easy to take along.  Please place your contributions in the box
under the table.  Thanks!
