Lakeview Community Church, 30 Long Pond Road, (near Edgemere Drive), supports the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf (GEFS) every month. However, August is a special month because they have their August Challenge. The goal this year is to collect 1,200 cans of baked beans or pork and beans.
There are many ways to participate. Those who are local may bring donations to Lakeview Church each Sunday morning or come to the church on Saturday, August 30, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. for a “drive up and drop off.” For those who find shopping difficult, organizers will do the shopping to turn cash or check donations into beans. Checks should be made out to “Lakeview Community Church” and put “August Challenge” on the memo line. Those out of the area who would like to help may mail a check to 30 Long Pond Road, Rochester, NY 14612. Another option is to have Amazon ship donations of baked beans directly to the church (shipping should be free for Prime members). Those who are interested can also check the websites of local stores (Wegmans, Tops, Aldi’s, and Walmart) for their delivery policies and have beans delivered.
For information, call 317-3733 and leave a message. Check Westside News in September to find out how much was collected.
Lakeview is a small church that is determined to do big things in its community to help neighbors in need. All are invited to join in helping the church reach its goal of 1,200 cans.
