Vista UMC and Santa Catalina Catholic Church volunteers at work
Diane Coleman
Vista de la Montana Methodist Church, along with the Santa Catalina Catholic Church, answers the call to feed hungry tummies. Our dedicated volunteers gather, typically, on the final Wednesday of each month to fill 240 bags of food for 60 eligible students, who are selected by the school’s social worker based on need.
Each bag, tagged with a sticker indicating it is a gift from these two churches, contains carefully selected, nutritionally appropriate, nonperishable items intended for weekend sustenance throughout each month. Without this assistance, many children might risk going hungry on weekends when school breakfast and lunch programs aren’t available.
Vista de la Montana and Santa Catalina Churches have always faithfully and wholeheartedly supported this valuable program, bringing joy to children’s faces while nourishing them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Both churches have also provided all the financial assistance necessary to sustain this program. The financial need is great to continue these efforts, as the costs of foodstuffs continues to rise dramatically. Monetary donations, as well as volunteer assistance, are always welcomed.
We also welcome you to worship with us each Sunday at 10 a.m. Vista de la Montana United Methodist Church is located at 3001 E. Miravista Lane, on the west side of Oracle Rd. just south of the Golder Ranch intersection. The church phone number is 520-825-1985.
