PAUL CARLSON PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE TO VISIT
Robert Anderson, Partner Engagement Representative on the Board of the Paul Carlson Partnership, will be with us on January 30. He will share a little in worship and be available for Q&A afterwards. The Paul Carlson Partnership is one of four international agencies that GE Covenant supports. The Partnership’s mission is to catalyze the holistic growth of healthy families and communities in places of deep poverty. Working together with partners in Africa and elsewhere, the Partnership invests in local efforts in medical and economic development. The Partnership was created to honor Dr. Paul Carlson, who was a medical missionary with the Evangelical Covenant Church, and to continue his work in partnership with the Covenant Church of Congo. Contact Darren Miller or Diane Brown for more information.
GLEN ELLYN FOOD PANTRY
Expanding Partnership to Deliver Groceries to Local Refugees
Did you know we provide essential groceries once a month to 150 refugee families through our initiative called Grocery Care Pack? It all started during the pandemic in the spring of 2020, when the Pantry was approached by Exodus World Service, whose mission is to mobilize the Christian community to welcome and befriend refugees.
Since then, on the second Tuesday of every month, groceries from the Northern Illinois Food Bank, Pantry donations and very limited purchases, are sorted into 150 “Care Packs” by dozens of dedicated volunteers. The groceries are then delivered to the homes of refugees in the area. Today that sorting process takes place at our new Grocery Care Pack home at Parkview Community Church in Glen Ellyn. New refugee families, many from Afghanistan, are arriving in DuPage County weekly, so the need for this service is growing steadily.
If you’d like to make a difference by volunteering, please email GroceryDelivery@GlenEllynFoodPantry.org and we can fill you in on the opportunities and send you a link to sign-up.
