Weekly Food Load

Volunteers are needed on Fridays to help pick up the food order from River Bend Food Bank at 8:30 am and to unload and put away the order at 9:00 am at All Saints.

Please note that on the 2nd Friday of the month, River Bend Food Bank delivers the Iowa Commodities load as well as the food order for the week. This is typically a large load, and many workers are needed to help at 9:00 am at the church.
