Please stop by the side narthex and view the colorful mat of Love on display. It is made out of plastic bags and plastic tablecloths. If you happen to have any bags which you are not using, please donate them to this Project. A container is available for your use. In the future, we will have a presentation on how to cut the bags into strips, knot them together, assemble into a ball and then knit/crochet into a mat. Thank you.

In 2024, Loaves of Love donated over 2,000 bags of food to our neighbors in need. We couldn't have done this without you. Loaves of Love leadership would like to thank everyone who donated food, funds and time to make this food pantry operate smoothly. Thank you and Christmas blessings.
