The Western Farm Workers will be assembling Thanksgiving food baskets for 75 families on Tuesday, Nov. 26, at Reedville Presbyterian Church.
Volunteers are needed for sorting food and loading cars. Please call the WFWA office at 503-681-9399 to help. Merry G will be purchasing fresh food for the distribution; contact her for more information.
Each year, HomePlate Youth Services strives to host an event called Holiday Store. Holiday Store provides young people the opportunity to practice generosity, a key pillar at HomePlate. This empowering activity can provide not only a happier holiday season for our youth and their families, but supports youth to be caring, generous, and civically engaged citizens for our community.
Check out this year's gift list or their Amazon Wishlist for inspiration about what to donate! Financial contributions are always welcome too - more than half of our holiday store items come from donated items, so cash/check donations will contribute to purchasing more gifts for youth to choose from!
Please bring your new, unwrapped gift to church by December 1. Items should be $20 or less to ensure equal distribution of gifts. Checks should be marked Holiday Store.
Thank you!
The church office will be closed the week of Thanksgiving, November 25 - 29. It will re-open on Tuesday, December 3.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and save some lives!
An estimated 38 percent of Americans are eligible to give blood or platelets, but of those, less than 10 percent actually donate each year. It takes about an hour and can help save up to three lives.
Our next blood drive is on Tuesday, Nov 19, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Lighthouse. Sign up today at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=WestsideUMC
As an added bonus, come to give Nov. 18-Dec. 8, 2024, for two pairs of custom FRIENDS + American Red Cross socks, while supplies last. Keep a pair and give a pair to a friend. Help spread the word about how important – and easy – donating blood is!
