Refugee Grocery Store

Welcoming the outsider, sojourner, and exile is one of the key components of biblical ethics, and we have an opportunity to let that rubric hit the road on Sunday afternoon, 12/8, at Fervent Church (904 Cooper Rd, Voorhees Township, NJ 08043).  Come and serve at their Refugee "Grocery Store" for families and individuals primarily from Afghanistan, Burma, and Syria.  To serve day-of, you can arrive at Fervent for as much time and as many "shifts" as you'd want to spend: setup runs from 1pm to 2pm, the "grocery store" itself stretches from 2pm to 4pm, and cleanup occurs afterwards.    You can also drop off food donations on 12/7––click here for a list––to Fervent between 3:30pm and 4:30 pm or do the same at Fervent on 12/8 between 1pm and 1:30pm. (Text Lauren at 856-816-4517 by Wednesday, 12/4, if you'd plan on volunteering and would want pizza, and also if you're intending to drop off any items at Fervent Church or the Shelmire home so that people can plan accordingly.)
