Birchwood

The Mission and Justice board, in conjunction with the Faith Formation board would like to invite you to participate in a March 26 pantry drive in support of the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters.

Our pantry drive was a success but some items are needed on a consistent basis. You can drop off of the items below on any Saturday between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm at the Industrial Credit Union on Northwest Avenue.

Here are photos of the Share Place food store for the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters. This is where your contributions for the August 21 will go to be shared by the neighbors who need some help with food.

Food deserts are neighborhoods where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options.

The Faith Formation Board is actively planning for fall programming and events. In order for us to provide opportunities for children and youth, we would love to get your input. And our board is partnering with the Mission and Justice Board on the August 21 Pantry Drive from 8-10 am. Collected items will be brought to the Birchwood Neighborhood’s Share Spot the same day.
