Cause of the Month April - Habitat for Humanity

A Christian housing ministry which builds homes for families in need. A family receives a no interest, no down payment loan but must give 400 hours of sweat equity (help build home or home of another family plus volunteer community work). Loan payments go back to build more homes.

Food Pantry In April, the Lincoln Cluster Food pantry needs pancake mix and syrup, canned fruit, macaroni and cheese dinners, canned vegetables, and canned juice. The food pantry’s shelves are bare—please make a donation if it’s possible.

Cash donations are used for immediate needs. To donate cash, place it in the collection plate, clearly marked “Food Pantry”.
