Can You Help Distribute Groceries in Anacostia?

BHPC is proud to support Faith Presbyterian Church’s “Feeding Families” project! Our usual April distribution day will be moved from Easter weekend to Saturday, May 17. 4-5 BHPC volunteers will help Faith’s team from 9:00–10:40 am, rain or shine. Volunteers pack 60 grocery bags at the church in Anacostia and distribute them on the church property. Adults, families and teens are welcome. You can sign up on Sign-Up Genius or send Joan Burns an email. You can also volunteer for June 21 and/or August 16. Faith Church welcomes volunteers in any month on the 3rd Saturday. Please contact Joan Burns, the BHPC liaison to Faith Presbyterian Church, if you are interested.

Meals for Lon’s House and Becky’s House

For many years Bradley Hills has fed the hungry through a ministry with shelters for those who would otherwise be homeless. We have partnered with Interfaith Works to provide dinner once a month to Becky’s House, a shelter for eight women and Lon’s House, a home for eight men both located in Rockville.

We are pleased to have the opportunity to broaden this ministry by giving those who deliver the dinner the option to stay, serve and dine with the residents.  This is an option and not required. We are hoping to create a sense of community with those we are providing food for.

Smart Sacks: A Family-Friendly Serving Opportunity

Smart Sacks is a family-friendly serving opportunity that occurs right after the 10:30 a.m. service to pack sacks of food for families in Montgomery County Public Schools who are food insecure.

We need volunteers to:

· Help us Set Up on Sunday mornings: We need volunteers to help set up the Smart Sack stations before the assembly. Volunteers will need to be able to do some lifting in order to help with set up.

· Help us Pack and Assemble the Smart Sacks: An opportunity for the whole family! Join us immediately after the 10:30 a.m. worship service to pack and assemble the sacks that will go to the families for the following weekend.

· Help us Deliver assembled Smart Sacks: We need volunteers to deliver food during the week to designated public schools. Volunteers who would like to deliver will also need to be able to do some lifting as well.

Interested in joining the Smart Sacks Team? Contact Elaine Henderson or Jim Kettler during the Smart Sacks assembly time after the 10:30 am worship.
