Chicken and Egg Fund
Consider donating to our food bank. We have recently seen an increase in the cost of high protein items such as chicken and eggs. You can donate online (select Community Services - Food Bank from the drop down menu) or place donations in the blue envelopes in the collection basket. Thank you for helping us to provide nutritious food to our food bank families.
May
Rent assistance - 12 families
Utilities assistance - 3 families
Due to the increased number of rental requests, we will be limiting our assistance for utilities. We will still offer propane vouchers, but we will no longer be able to provide gas cards.

Volunteer Opportunities
Marriage Mentor Couple
Couples preparing for marriage complete a FOCCUS inventory which identifies areas of agreement and disagreement. They are then matched with a mentor couple from our parish. Mentor couples are trained to facilitate open and honest conversations with the engaged couple. Mentor couples are couples who have been married in the church for at least 5 years. We would love to train couples who are bilingual in Spanish/English or have military experience. The schedule is flexible and our mentor couples usually only meet with 2-3 couples per year.
Homebound Eucharistic Minister
Our ministry to area nursing home and assisted living facilities continues to grow! We'd love to train more people in how to lead a communion service. If you can't commit to every week, we always need people who can fill in while the regular minister is on vacation. Our current need is helping with the communion service at Affinity.
Food Bank Driver
Many of our volunteers will be taking days off during the summer months. We'd love to train more drivers to take a regular weekly shift or serve as a sub as needed. Our shifts are Monday-Thursday from 1-3 pm or 5-7 pm.
A background check and safe environment training is required for volunteer positions. Contact Morningstar at the parish office for more information.
