Lakeview Community Church supports the Greece Ecumenical Food Shelf (GEFS) every month. However, August is a special month because of their August Challenge. The goal this year is to collect 2,000 boxes or pouches of rice and pasta mixes.
Ways to participate
- Bring donations to Lakeview Church each Sunday morning or come to the church on Saturday, August 29, 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 rice and pasta mixes. Checks should be made payable to “Lakeview Community Church” with “August Challenge” on the memo line. Those out of the area who would like to help may mail a check to the church at 30 Long Pond Road, Rochester, NY 14612.
- Have Amazon ship donations of rice and pasta mixes directly to the church (shipping should be free for Prime members). Those who are interested may also check the websites of local stores (Wegmans, Tops, Aldi’s, and Walmart) for their delivery policies and arrange delivery.
Lakeview is a small church that is determined to do big things in its community to help neighbors in need. All are invited to help the church reach its goal of 2,000 boxes or pouches of rice and pasta mixes.
