Summer Heat Respite

With a second grant from Ascension Lutheran Church, the Northeast Valley Consortium churches (Ascension, Christ the Lord, Living Water, New Covenant, and New Journey) will again pack more than 2600 lunches and provide life-saving water and electrolyte powder for persons experiencing homelessness in the greater Phoenix area. As Grace in the City (Grace Lutheran Church) is unable to distribute food this summer, we have found new partnership with Foothills Food Bank (FHFB) to distribute NEVC lunches to locations in the Phoenix area where they are most needed, including Wesley United Methodist Church in South Phoenix where we provided lunches in August and September 2024.

The NEVC lunch pack calendar is still be developed, but we anticipate Monday lunch packs at New Journey on June 9 and 23, July 28, August 4, and following worship on God’s Work. Our Hands. Sunday, September 7.
