Partnering to treat local families to dinner.
Last Sunday, I visited Life At The Ridge (LATR), a start-up church that meets at Rosa Parks Elementary school in Redmond Ridge (hence Life at the Ridge). I enjoyed the music, worship and the message by Pastor Josh Hebert, and the general friendliness of the people. Normally, I attend Timberlake but chose to visit LATR just to check it out.
Helping families locally
I loved the focus on local giving to the community.(It fits with what Semper Vita is all about) LATR plans to provide Thanksgiving baskets to the 20 families who currently live at the Redmond Family Village YWCA. Some people are buying flats of one of the items, others are purchasing a complete meal kit. Here's their web announcement:
November Food Drive. During the month of November we will be doing a community food drive. Please bring your favorite boxed and canned food.
They need all items at LATR no later than Sunday, November 23. Contact Tanya ([email protected]) if you want to help.
How else can you help feed a family?
- Maybe your church is feeding families too. Choose to find out more; it's great way to help.
- Maybe you don't go to church. I was at QFC earlier and purchased a 'meal-in-a-bag' for $10. It's another way to help a local family.
- Maybe you'd rather invite a family for dinner.
Whatever you're thinking of doing...it's a great time to start thinking about Thanksgiving.
