Each week we pack and distribute 20 lunches for our unsheltered neighbors in downtown McKinney. You can help in several ways! The easiest (and most needed way) is to sign up to purchase food. CLICK HERE for the sign up. Bring the food to the church ASAP to be packed. You can also help pack the lunches on Wednesdays at 11:30 in the Conference Room. Donations can also be made with “homeless” as the memo to go toward the purchase of Gatorades, sacks, etc. Email Caitlin for more information.
