On Community Sunday each month (the 3rd Sunday of the month), the Share-a-Meal Ministry collects individually wrapped sandwiches and fruit for the homeless between 9:30-12:30PM in the Kennedy Room, and then delivers the food to Shepherd's Table in downtown Silver Spring. Two loaves of bread and couple of packages of cheese and lunchmeat costs each of us only a few dollars and 10 minutes to prepare. Share-A-Meal is organized by Kate Droege 301-593-6260, droeges@verizon.net.
Harvest for the Hungry is monthly collection of canned and packaged food which is distributed to those who call the parish Samaritan Line (301-593-1888) for assistance. If we have extra food, we share it with Catholic Charities and Mid-County United Ministries (MUM). At Easter and Christmas, we also share food with the Rosensteel Council of the Knights of Columbus, who pack more than 200 bags of food for the poor.
S.O.M.E. Ministry responds to Christ's message "to feed the hungry." Once a month, donations of food are served to the needy in the community through S.O.M.E. kitchens. Generally, hot food donations are collected in the winter on the second Tuesday of each month from 9:00 - 9:40 a.m. in the Church parking lot. Cold food donations are collected in the summer on the second Tuesday of each month from 9:00 to 9:40 a.m. in the Church parking lot. If you cannot deliver your donations to the Church parking lot at these times, please see the bulletin for details on making other arrangements. S.O.M.E. donations are organized by Jane Welsh (301-754-2141) and Sue Wiant (301-593-8689).
