At Christ the King, we offer several opportunities to help the hungry and needy, especially those in our community.   

Lenten Food Drive for Backpack Buddies  

Please put any donations in the special box near the brown bins. If you would like to make a monetary donation to buy milk in bulk, please use the tan pew envelope and mark it "backpacks". Contact Karen Maxwell or karenmaxwell520@hotmail.com for more information or to learn how you can get involved. Thank you!

CROP Walk
CROP Walks are held annually around the country to raise money for local and world hunger relief. On the first Sunday in October, participants walk or run a 5K or 10K through a Cary neighborhood to raise money and awareness of the 24,000 people dying each day of hunger-related issues. 

Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels serves up hot and nutritious lunches, Monday through Friday, to the elderly, homebound and disabled of the community. One day a month, volunteers go to Resurrection Lutheran Church in Cary and pick up six to 10 dinners and drinks.  Volunteers receive directions and addresses, and they go to each recipient’s house to drop off the meal and some good cheer.

Food Drives
Christ the King holds occasional food drives at off-season times of the year to resupply local food pantries. .

ELCA World Hunger Appeal
ELCA World Hunger is a connected, comprehensive and compassionate program that helps individuals and communities lift themselves out of poverty into self-sufficiency. The international work of ELCA World Hunger is carried out with trusted partners, notably Lutheran World Relief and The Lutheran World Federation. Because of these long-held connections to partners around the world, ELCA World Hunger efforts are efficient and effective.  Christ the King raises funds for the World Hunger appeal throughout the year. 

Egg Cartons
We recycle egg cartons for use by the Interfaith Food Shuttle. Bring your empty cartons to church and put them in the bins by the parlor.
