Many area residents are in need of a little help; whether it’s to get to the next paycheck, provide lunches for a child, meals to seniors, or a struggling college student.
Halfway Creek Lutheran Church’s Share Food With All program is intended to help meet the basic human needs of people within our community.
Together we can assist those who have an unexpected life change; are hungry, homeless, struggling or disadvantaged. For every $10 raised, a $10 food or gas card will be purchased by Halfway Creek’s Outreach Coordinators. The cards will be given to Pastor Jean Pagliaro for distribution.
Sharing Food With All teaches Christ’s lessons of love and understanding to supporters and offers hope and faith to recipients.

Tenebrae means darkness or shadows. At the final words of Jesus, our church will be immersed in total darkness. The focus on the rising darkness reminds us of the suffering of our Lord in payment of penalty for our sins.
