Pine Valley Camp Food for 5,000
Sunday, June 5
We are collecting food items for Pine Valley Camp to provide meals for hundreds of campers this Summer! Bring non-perishable food items to church and leave behind your car for Pine Valley Camp to pick up during the service on Sunday, June 5. Pine Valley estimates they feed at least 5,000 meals during the summer to primarily at-risk, inner city campers and this gives them a huge jump on their needs. A list of items can be downloaded here: Food for 5000 2022
