For the fourth consecutive year, the youth of the United Church of Christ of La Mesa (UCCLM) are active participants in the “Souper Bowl of Caring,” a month-long, nation-wide program in which donations of food and money are solicited to benefit local service agencies. The collection of canned goods and other non-perishable foodstuffs (the tables in Friendship Hall are filling rapidly!) will culminate on Super Bowl Sunday, February 6, 2011, with cash contributions accepted after worship. Both funds and food – along with blankets, warm clothing and toiletries acquired in the church’s on-going collection of items for those in need, will be divided between the Uptown Faith Community Service Center, a homeless outreach program of St. Paul’s Episcopal & Anglican Church, and Crisis House, an East County organization dedicated to the premise “that the community should have access to low cost, confidential social/human care services.”
UCCLM is located at 5940 Kelton Avenue, La Mesa, CA 91942 (619-464-1519, office@ucclm.sdcoxmail.com). We invite you worship with us and to join the congregation in celebrating our caring youth.
