Faith Community Food Pantry
This ministry is in place to offer emergency food rations to those who need them most, specifically in Dodge Center. Potential referral sources in the area have received a letter about the ministry and how to refer an individual or family. You can help by picking up a card from the pantry area and returning the item listed to the church office. Alzheimer's Caregivers Support Group We welcome anyone dealing with or caring for a loved one with dementia of any sort. The purpose of the group is to share our experiences and any resources we have found helpful. You do not need to be the primary caregiver but can be anyone with interest. Our privacy will be respected in all areas. We will meet on Thursdays from 5pm-6pm at Faith Lutheran Church. Shirley Traff — Trained Facilitator. |
