Johnson County Food Ministry at Center of Grace

St. Aidan's helps prepare and hand out meals at Center of Grace in Olathe, on the fourth Thursday of the month. Dinner prep is at 3:00 pm and at 5:00 pm we distribute food at Center of Grace.

Next Outreach at Center of Grace is on October 23 2025

*** Also, we need your help by bringing individually wrapped desserts for the Center of Grace to St. Aidan's by noon on that Thursday.

The Vestry decided at its last meeting to proceed with our 4^th Thanksgiving in Action in conjunction with the First Christian Church in downtown Olathe.

For those who aren't familiar with this program, parishioners fill a box with food needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. The First Christian Church

adds a turkey or chicken, butter, dinner rolls and whipped topping. The list of food items is the same as last year's. I will have the list in the newsletters

and will also have hard copies available at church. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and this is a good way to help those who aren't as fortunate as we are.

I appreciate everyone's help with this community-wide ministry in the past and, hopefully, we'll have another great year.
