Mt Olive News

Fair Park neighbors were excited to see the Mt. Olive Blessing Bag Ministry on Wednesday following a month’s leave when over 200 grateful individuals were served lunch bags. Today, Mt. Olive’s Frances Byrd Horn of Plenty Food Pantry continues to provide food and inspiration for those in need. Christ Lutheran, a partner of many decades and many caring volunteers, is making a difference. The pantry served almost 14,000 Blessing Bags (lunch bags) in 2022, and the need continues to grow. Approximately 300 blessing bags are distributed weekly and can be picked up on foot or drive-through. 
 
To become a part of this ministry, please join us on Wednesdays at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, 3100 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, any time between 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Dress for work and the weather, and be prepared to make new friends!
 
9:30 to 11:00 AM Pack Bags
11:00 to 1:00 PM Distribute Bags
 
Or donations of any amount are always greatly appreciated and can be made online at clcdallas.org or by check/cash to CLC annotated with “Mt. Olive Food Pantry.” There has been an approximate 35% increase in prices, and your generosity helps us deliver tangible help and hope to those who need it most!

For June, we request donations of single-serve fruit juices (Capri-Sun or similar) for the Blessing Bags. They may be left in the red wagon in the narthex.
​
A special thanks to all of our faithful donors for your continued support – your gifts greatly impact this ministry!
