Community Outreach is as busy as ever with the holidays officially here. So far this week, we have made placemats for the Thanksgiving celebration at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, visited the women’s shelter, and donated over 450 boxes in support of Operation Christmas Child…and it’s only Tuesday!
It’s time to clean out those pantries! Come out to Shoreline TOMORROW night, Wednesday November 18th, from 4-8 p.m. as local television station KION broadcasts live from our property at 2500 Garden Road in Monterey. KION has chosen Shoreline as one of their hosts for the Holiday Harvest Food Drive. Please come by between 4 and 8 to drop off canned goods or a cash donation. Cash donations go very far. Just $10 can be stretched into $840 of food and that’s just the beginning!
November’s Shoreline Clean-Up Day, November 28th from 9 am-2pm, will be here before we know it. Please consider dropping by to help us beautify the property and help get it ready for the Christmas season as we will have our work cut out for us.
If you have been affected by the recent economic downturn and are in need of food assistance, Shoreline’s Food Pantry is here to help. The hours for this much-needed service have changed and are now 12:30-2:30 pm and 5:30-6 pm by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you would like any information regarding these or any other opportunities to serve, please contact Deb Federico at dfederico@shorelinechurch.org or Megan Huff at mhuff@shorelinechurch.org at 831.655.0100 x338.

Starting in March, Shoreline Community Church will become an official food pantry for The Food Bank for Monterey County. The Food Bank is part of America’s Second Harvest Food Bank. The Food Bank believes, as do we, the effects of the downturn in the economic situation in our area are greatly impacting many in our community and will continue to do so. Did you know the Food Bank of Monterey County serves over 50,000 monthly? More people than ever before will need our help in these difficult times. During the 2006-2007 fiscal year they served 36,218 households through the Emergency Food Assistance Program alone. In 2007-2008, they served 55,964 households, an increase of 54%. We at Shoreline want to be able to help our community stretch those food dollars. In March and April we are going to conduct another food and basic needs drive to help stock our pantry (along with being able to stock from the food bank). Every month we are having a drive of some kind. When you pack up for church on Sundays, please remember how you can help so many by bringing in your items for the less fortunate. Please give as generously as you can. These are just some of the items we would like to collect:
- Detergents, soaps, toiletries
- Diapers (all sizes)
- Diaper Wipes
- Towels, Wash Clothes
- New underwear & socks (adults and kids) for our clothes closet
Small appliances and furniture, please call the church or contact dfederico@shorelinechurch.org or jatwell@shorelinechurch.org. Also we are looking for a refrigerator for our food pantry. Thank you so much as you continue to share your blessings.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25:35-36
