Crop Drop in Roanoke

Do you want to volunteer, feed hungry people...and have fun?

On June 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the Society of St. Andrew in collaboration with the Roanoke Police Department is holding a drive-thru crop drop in Roanoke. Volunteers can help bag produce, greet recipients, etc. Sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/endhunger/event/783418/

Please sign up online before you arrive if possible. NO PETS ALLOWED under any circumstances. Bring water and wear weather-appropriate clothing. If we need to cancel or postpone this event, you will be notified via email as soon as possible.

Creative Reuse

Northside collects items for reuse in the container in the hallway at church. These go to the Creative Reuse Center in the children's Museum in Christiansburg.  They are gifted to teachers and community members.  Please refer to the sign near the container that lists items that are accepted and not accepted.  This is a great service to our community.


Life Line Screening

Life Line Screening will be here on Friday, June 20, offering safe, painless, non-invasive preventive health screenings that are typically not a part of a routine physical.  To be more proactive about your health for yourself, your family and your community, please register for these health screenings today.  Please refer to the attached flyer to get more info about how you can sign up.

There are three ways to register:
•       Call toll-free: 1-888-814-0466 promo code HSCA001
•       Online: https://www.llsa.social/hsca
•       Text: the word circle to 216-279-1607

As a thank-you for our continued hosting of this event, there are two passes available for a complementary screening. Pre-registration is required. If you are interested, let Bruce know and he will email the pass to you to redeem.


Lemonade on the Lawn

We are now well into lemonade on the lawn. This requires one to set out a table, put out the lemonade (found in the refrigerator in the kitchen) and cups, and clean up. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for those who want to help with this fellowship event.


There are open dates in July and August. Thanks to those who already signed up.

Monday's meal was taco salad, corn, fruit cup, and cookies. There were 35 meals served with another 20 shared with the rescue squad and taken by volunteers. Helpers were George and Marge, Karen and Forest, Alex and Georgia, Linda, Susan, and Bruce and Heidi.
