Outreach

            As Lent approaches, this is a perfect opportunity to focus Outreach on those in the community that need assistance. Please consider, as a part of Lenten activities, food donations each Sunday for the Red Food Box. The donations will go to Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC). LCAC serves the community as the agency that brings together various resources to meet the needs of people in the community who are in need of “a hand up, not a hand out.” 
            During the last year the number of clients for LCAC has increased, while the amount of food donations has decreased. This is a vital part of Pohick’s community ministry. Suggested food items include the following:

Tuna
Spaghetti and spaghetti sauce
Evaporated milk
Peanut butter and jelly
Pasta side dish (Pasta-Roni, e.g.)
Macaroni and cheese
Cooking oil
Boxed cereal
Canned Fruit and Vegetables
Canned Soup           

The first Sunday of each month food contributions are included as part of the alms giving at the Church services. Contributions on other Sundays can be brought directly to the Common Room and placed in the Red Food Box. Please direct any questions to Susan Homar.
