Sack Lunch Program

Providing food for people who are struggling is something most everyone believes in. For the past year, Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church has been engaged in just such an easy, inexpensive, hands-on project. It is called the Free Clinic Lunch Program and provides a sack lunch one day per month to people in our community who are in need of free medical care.  Every Thursday a team gets together under the leadership of Tim Nelson to make and deliver nutritious sack lunches to the people waiting for medical attention at the Free Clinic of SW Washington at  4100 Plomondon St in Vancouver.

The mission of the Free Clinic is to provide and facilitate access to free, compassionate, quality health care for children and adults who are otherwise unable to access such services. It is an all-volunteer clinic and is open 3 mornings and 2 evenings per week. More information about the clinic is available at http://www.freeclinics.org/.

For the past year we have requested money and volunteer time from the congregation to make these lunches happen. Your response has been very generous and we are able now to add a second monthly lunch. The cost for 50 lunches is approximately $100 and contributions can be made to this fund any time by putting your check in an envelope marked Free Clinic Lunches. Thank you for your help!!

James 2:14-17: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill’, and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that?
