LETTUCE PRAY NEEDS A DRIVER
Lettuce Pray is a ministry that works with seven local churches to provide fresh produce to the West Seattle and White Center Food Banks. Fresh veggies and fruits are a real gift for those families and individuals experiencing food insecurity, especially to those who live in a food desert.
Each summer a Lettuce Pray box has been placed inside the main entrance to the church but this year the program is on hold until they can find a new driver for the route. Parishioners are usually invited to bring fresh produce from their gardens (or the farmers’ market or grocery store) to Mass, and sometime after the start of the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday, a representative from Lettuce Pray has picked it up and taken it to the food bank coolers. Produce can be store or market bought or home grown.
Last season, the OLG Lettuce Pray box was filled to the brim each Sunday. Combined with other local churches’ donations, this amounted to almost 2000 pounds of fresh produce donated. Many thanks for your generous spirit in helping others in need!
If you are able to do the driving this season please contact Jane at janeatay@msn.com. Thank you, and "peas" be with you!
