On a sunny Sabbath afternoon in November, the West County Pioneers Pathfinder Club served their community by collecting bags of non-perishable food items from homes near the West County SDA Church.
The effort followed a week of preparation. The Pathfinders, along with their leader, Jason Matthews, had delivered empty bags to each home in the surrounding neighborhood, inviting residents to help by filling them with food donations.
After the collection was complete, all donated items were transported to the St. Louis Adventist Community Services Center. The food will be distributed to individuals and families in need of food assistance.
The activity provided an opportunity for the Pathfinders to engage directly with their community while supporting a local service center that helps meet basic needs.
