I received the following letter from Kirk Care the first week of February.

Dear Pastor Scott,

Thank you for the use of the Glendale Lutheran Church facilities for us to partner with Keith Rawlings and Kirkwood Youth In Action group for a free food giveaway drive-thru event this past weekend. It was great to see the support from this organization and members of your congregation. A special thanks to Ken Clark for all of his assistance with the event inventory and allowing us to have church access. Also a huge thanks to volunteers from your congregation that assisted with deliveries yesterday afternoon. Between volunteers from Kirk Care and your congregation, we were able to deliver all boxes to those in need and move excess packing inventory back to the Kirk Care pantry within 1 1/2 hours--THANK YOU!!

While the weather did not cooperate for our event on Saturday morning, we were able to distribute all 100 boxes prepared by Kirkwood Youth In Action to those in most need within our community this past weekend. In total, we served 242 family members of which 119 were children under 18 years old--AWESOME! Thank you again for Glendale Lutheran Church's ongoing commitment to Kirk Care in our mission to feed the hungry within our community.

Gratefully yours,
Larry Watson, President
Kirk Care, Inc.
Please wear a mask during worship services.

Birthday Bags and Meal Kits 2021
We have some changes this year that will make your participation in the Birthday Bags and Meal Kits a little easier!

  • No glass in contributions.

  • Many boxes of candles were contributed. No need to purchase. There is a bag with the candles available on the display table at the church entrance. You can transfer one of those to your Birthday Bag.

  • The Meal Kits are to be placed in a grocery bag and double tied. They need to be labeled with the name of the meal on the outside. They can be labeled at home or you can used the printed ones on the display table.

  • Free items for Birthday Bags are displayed on tables in the room under the gym. Steps go down from the lounge area outside the gym entrance. You will find paper products, games, party favors, etc. to help fill your bags. This area is always open.

A thought: it takes more work to fill the Birthday Bags. If you do grocery shopping, think of making a meal bag or two to contribute. That would be a great help.

Thank you for any contributions. The last day to turn in your bags is Sunday, February 28.
