Harvest of the Heart
Our church has a "caregivers" ministry called "Harvest of the Heart". The objective is to meet, periodically, as a group to prepare large quantities of food to fill our freezer space. This will include foods such as soups, stews, casseroles, and breads.
The concept for the Harvest of the Heart frozen food ministry developed when a large old freezer was donated to the church in the early 2000's. since then the church expanded and built on the Family Life Center addition which includes a large kitchen with a commercial grade large freezer. The cooks and 'want to be' cooks of the church meet periodically to prepare large quantities of food to fill our freezer space.
Our caregivers can then use the frozen food as a resource to help meet the many unexpected food needs of our congregation and community and as a way of sharing our love with others. Church members are encouraged to bring food to new parents, a person recuperating at home from a hospital stay, a family grieving, an overburdened caregiver, those just in need of a little TLC and those in the community who may need some help.
Eventually, we would also like to expand this ministry to include cooking, on occasion, for shelters and soup kitchens. Look for the 'Cook-in" days in the coming events section and join us!
