Food Basket Distribution – May 14, 2022
Meet at 6:30am to prepare individual boxes of food, gathered from the variety of food donations Ysleta Lutheran Mission Human Care (YLM) has ready. That early!? you ask. Yes, it provides just enough time to assemble the food baskets before the distribution begins. We’ll be helping more than a hundred families, many of El Paso’s elderly, have much needed food.
Set your alarm clock early, drink that coffee, eat that donut and meet others from Zion at Ysleta Lutheran Mission Human Care for a morning well spent helping others. It’ll be great!
Date: May 14, 2022
Time: 6:30-9:30am
Address: YLM Human Care, 301 S. Schutz Dr., El Paso, TX 79907
