Volunteers Needed to Cook, Serve

As most of you know, one of the largest local ministries we support is the Interfaith Community Shelter at Pete’s Place on Cerrillos Road. The deacons have been preparing and serving one meal a month, but the shelter has a great need for additional help, especially going into the fall and winter months.
