Dining for Women |
CHANGING THE WORLD ONE WOMAN, ONE GIRL, ONE DINNER AT A TIME |

Dining for Women’s mission is to empower women and girls living in extreme poverty by funding programs that foster good health, education, and economic self-sufficiency and to cultivate educational giving circles that inspire individuals to make a positive difference through the power of collective giving. The Gig Harbor Chapter of Dining for Women meets monthly on the third Thursday at 12:00. Women are invited to share a meal, learn about the featured program of the month and contribute directly to that cause.
God's work, Our hands Sunday
"God’s Work. Our Hands." is the dedicated day of service for our larger church body, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We participated this year with two projects. We began with a clothing drive, amassing a collection of children’s underclothing which will be distributed to students in need in our school district. We sorted and assembled the clothing in packages for distribution. A second project was tying fleece blankets for Lutheran World Relief. As you can see by the photos we wore our bright yellow t-shirts imprinted with “God’s work. Our hands.” on the front and Agnus Dei on the back
