GCC'S MEAL TRAIN OPPORTUNITY

Additional volunteers are needed for the meal train presently operating at GCC. When someone is going through a difficult time, it can be hard to know how to best support them. Whether they just had a baby, lost a family member, or had a major surgery, making sure they have their basic needs met—food being one of them—is step number one.  Laura Lahr is the contact for this ministry.  You may speak to her about getting your name on the list to provide a meal.  She can be reached at lrlongwood@hotmail.com.
