Day of Service on Saturday

On Saturday (the designated Day of Service for Soldotna), dozens of volunteers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be conducting a variety of service projects. The entire Kenai Peninsula is invited to join! There will be something for everyone to do. Meet at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Soldotna on Marydale, next to Central Peninsula Hospital at 9 a.m., ready to serve.

There will be many opportunities to help including:

— Downed trees will be gathered from the Soldotna Cemetery and other locations and the wood hauled to the Food Bank to be split and stacked.

— Youth will be going to Heritage Place, and working on birthday kits for the Food Bank.

— At the Food Bank they will be making soup kits, and repackaging bulk items for the Food Bank.

— Quilts will be available to be tied.

A community luncheon will take place at noon at the Food Bank. Everyone is asked to bring potluck salad/chips/cookies to go with the hoagie sandwiches and drink the church will provide. Each family is asked to bring at least one cake mix and frosting for the birthday kits and any balloons or candles you may have. Also the children and youth are asked to bring new or gently used books, stuffed animals/small toys for the birthday kits.

The Day of Service is an outgrowth of large-scale volunteer projects done by Latter-day Saints world-wide in conjunction with other faith-based and community organizations.
