Bill Waxman, Senior Warden at St. David’s Episcopal Church, and Madelyn Busse, President of the Congregational Council of the Lutheran Church in the San Juans, presented a check to Pat Vannest and Mark Schwinge, Board Members of the Friday Harbor Food Bank, on July 8. The two church congregations held a Father’s Day Fund Drive for the food bank on June 21, and collected just over $1,400.
Both the Episcopal and Lutheran congregations are supportive of the local food bank and their work to help individuals and families on our island. Together, the churches have formed a Food Bank Support Group that conducts two or three fund raising events within their congregations each year. They also oversee the collection of non-perishable food items at Sunday services.
