Harvest of Hands is winding down another successful year thanks to your generosity of time, donations, and shopping.
Harvest of Hands Festival is an annual festival and brunch organized by Zion members to benefit local and world hunger through the Buffalo Food Shelf and the ELCA World Hunger Appeal.
Proceeds from the November sale were $11,442.45. Thrivent and another anonymous donor are each providing an additional $1,000 in matching funds. This year an anonymous donor is providing a matching gift for the total amount raised, bringing the total this year to an amazing $26,884.90. Specific designations of these funds have not been determined yet.
The Harvest of Hand Committee would like to personally, thank each of you, but that is not possible. So, as you read this, please hear their voice: “Thank you for your contribution to such a worthy cause. It is greatly appreciated.”
Planning for the next festival has begun, and the committee is already looking for projects and volunteers for 2010. Please join other volunteers on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 9am or the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Wilderness Room. The friendships, the satisfaction of a good job done, and the contribution to a needy and worthwhile cause are very rewarding. The kickoff meeting for 2010 will be Wednesday, January 13 at 7pm.
