![]() 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. ![]() 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.

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!
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.
