The Meat Canning Committee appreciates the wide range of ages helping with the meat canning and soup packing projects but also is responsible for providing a safe environment while properly handling food that will be distributed to those in need. Please help us in this effort by closely supervising your children during these projects so no one is in danger of being injured.

If you would like to know the up-to-date need for help or packing/wash time schedule, call the HarvestCall Center at (330) 925-3740. Thank you for your continued support. New this year, the committee will be keeping an up-to-date GoogleDoc schedule that can be accessed at your convenience by clicking here.

If you have any questions, please contact Bro. Jared Keever, Bro. Blake Maibach, Bro. Chase Gasser or Bro. Clint Gasser.

Our next carry in meal is scheduled for Sunday, Oct 12.  We are still in need of a host and helpers.  A sign-up sheet is posted on the women’s bulletin board. 

We appreciate the opportunity to support our Columbus congregation by serving lunch once per month. If  your family is willing to take a turn serving lunch at Columbus Church in the months of January – June  2026, please contact Sis. Martha Jenkins by Oct 15.
