Community Day is an annual event where St. Luke's Church supports the local community with free household items and food. The event takes place on Friday, September 27, but takes many days to prepare, and volunteer support is needed through each stage:
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9/17-9/19 and 9/24-9/26
On all of these days we have volunteer hours from 10AM-1PM
Location: St. Luke's Pastoral Center (corner of Division St. & State St.)
Task: Volunteers will receive donations at the Daily Bread Food Pantry entrance, and sort them for condition and category in the large gathering space of the Pastoral Center. This is a huge part of our preparations for Community Day.
