We are packaging meals for the Galveston County Food Bank on Sunday, December 13 at First Lutheran Church Galveston. Please message our account or call First Lutheran Church (409-762-8477) to reserve your spot. We will have shifts from 11:30-1:30 and 1:30-3:30. We will wear masks and limit the number of people who attend to stay safe. The need for food has gone up since the pandemic started so this is an essential ministry. If you are able to volunteer or spread the word, please do.
