On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we’re reminded of the value of community and of those who put others before themselves. During our darkest times, service and compassion are bright lights of hope.

Today and everyday you can serve your neighbors by volunteering at SELCC. Top volunteer needs right now include; sorting clothing donations, answering phones, calling Bingo on Fridays, or donating breakfast items. Call today to see how you can help!

However you choose to serve the community, thank you for shining a light of hope.

Grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, zucchini, more tomatoes – we have an abundance of produce available! Please stop in today and take some to enjoy over the long weekend. It’s all FREE! Help us by taking it while it is fresh. Open to everyone. We’re here until 4:00 today. See you soon!

We just received a wonderful donation of freshly picked sweet corn. Stop by and get some to have with dinner! We’ll be here until 4:30 today or 9-4 tomorrow.

What a fabulous donation! We are so thankful to the Ladies Golf group for their generosity. They provided lots of fun new backpacks for our school supply distribution, and piles of snacks for our summer movies. We truly appreciate your support!

Fresh vegetables! This week we were excited to share our first garden harvest with our food pantry clients. Kale, kohlrabi, swiss chard, and zucchini grew beautifully. We look forward to providing more fresh produce throughout the summer.

You can still be a part of this great project to provide delicious, healthy food for your neighbors. Give us a call today to see how you can help!

We will be closed Wednesday, July 4th. Regular hours resume Thursday, July 5th. Have a safe and happy holiday!
