Serve WeeklyFood insecurity is a reality for hundreds of children in Pierce County. Working with school counselors in the Franklin Pierce School District, the Backpacks 4 Kids program identifies hungry children in local schools and supplies them with child-friendly, nutritious food items to feed them through the weekend. This outreach runs from October to June.
We also run a Summer food bag ministry. Very often, healthy vegetables don't fit into tight grocery budgets. OSLC gardeners are filling that budget gap with our community garden. The Abundance Garden provides hundreds of pounds of fresh produce for our local food bank. Located at the corner of 44th and 112th, we meet every Tuesday during the planting and growing season (May through September).
