Jesus led a life filled with "faith in action" by actively feeding the hungry, healing the sick, teaching, and welcoming the stranger. We seek to emulate Christ's example as best as we can.
Serve
The Project
We have a unique opportunity to help our community by serving as a distribution site for the East Texas Food Bank's Senior Box Program (CSFP). This service provides boxes of nutritious food every month to low-income seniors in need. Proper nutrition is essential for the health of senior neighbors, who are more susceptible to diet-related health problems. Over 4,600 seniors per month receive a box at similar distribution sites throughout our area.
How You Can Help
First Christian Church of Tyler is becoming a distribution site where participating seniors register to receive a box of food staples on the third Tuesday of every month. Our volunteers need the necessary training to properly distribute the boxes.
The training session is on Tuesday, October 15, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the church. We need a minimum of 8 volunteers, but there's no maximum!
Reach out to Phil Latham to volunteer and help our senior neighbors.
