Please help keep our church clean by properly disposing of trash.

Due to limited kitchen space, we kindly ask that anyone wishing to donate kitchen equipment, supplies or food items first contact the Consumption Team. To maintain order and cleanliness, unused items will be discarded regularly. This policy also applies to refrigerator contents.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping the church kitchen clean and organized.
