PB & J GANG IN PERSON, OR IN YOUR HOME!
The PB & J Gang made a total of 648 sandwiches on Sunday, December 18, delivering them to Mercy Soup Kitchen in Wyandanch, and to Helping Hands Rescue Mission in Huntington. Thank you to everyone who helped out!
The holidays are over, but food insecurity and hunger do not pay attention to calendars. Preparing and helping with sandwiches is a good way to fulfill community service hours for school, Confirmation class, scout troops, or just to gather with friends for a great cause. Come join Leslie Kulewicz, Ivonne Porpora and the PB & J Gang Sunday evening, January 15 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm in the lower church.
No Zoom for the moment as our connection is a bit under the weather, but you can make sandwiches in your home, and contact team leader Leslie Kulewicz at (631)896-4837 or by email to lesliekulewicz@hotmail.com to make arrangements to hand off the sandwiches afterwards. Her team will take it from there and deliver the food to grateful local organizations the following day. Anyone can participate!
And if you like to plan ahead, following are the dates for PB & J meetings for 2023. All are Sundays from 6:30-8:00pm in the lower church.
