Help alleviate local hunger by "Packing
the Sack".  You can pick up a brown
paper bag at Hawley Lutheran Church 
or use your own. 
Return your bag filled with non-perishable
​items to HLC or REACH.

Donate to REACH
Picture
REACH collaborates with the Great Plains Food Bank, North Country Food Bank, and Feeding America to provide children in Hawley, Ulen-Hitterdal School Districts, Glyndon-Felton Elementary School, and Norman County East Elementary School with food to take home and consume over the weekend each Friday during the school year.
Children receive nutritious, kid-friendly, and shelf stable items such as juice, cereal, soup, fruit, granola bars, and easy to prepare individual meals. It currently costs $5.00 to fill each backpack bag with these items, and monetary donations for the BackPack Program are greatly appreciated, as REACH can purchase food through the Great Plains Food Bank at a nominal cost.

Operation Christmas Child -2021

Please bring your shoeboxes to the church office by November 3, 2021.
Through the gifts and prayers of many people like you, God has enabled us to reach children in over 150 countries around the world.  Even greater is the opportunity is to pray for them and to be able to share with them the hope of eternal life in Christ.

WE DID THAT [2021]...
* 32 shoeboxes packed by congregational members
* boxes packed online
* $205 donated for filling boxes & shipping costs
 
Thank you for helping us to be JESUS to lots of children this Christmas!

​Don’t like shopping, hassle of parking and fighting crowds in the store?  You can still pack a box!  Go to
 www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ and start building a shoebox.  You can challenge
friends/family online as well as send gift cards to friends/family to fill a box that you have purchased for them.

For a gift suggestion list and what not to include in the shoebox, go to samaritanspurse.org/occ. 

Spirit of Giving -2021

 The Mission Team for many years has participated in this project – promoted by REACH.  For those of you who are not familiar with Spirit of Giving – this is a project that is done right before Christmas. 
The Ministry team will have a table set up before & after worship [in November] for you to pick up a slip.  Each slip has a gender, age, & a Christmas wish list for that child.  Have fun shopping!
  • Make sure to sign out a slip with a Ministry team member.
  • Please RETURN the wrapped gift with the slip to the REACH office by Monday, December 6, 2021.  Thanks.
 
The gifts, along with a food basket are than distributed to the families on December 15, 2021
 
THANK YOU to everyone who has taken a slip.
