Donations of non-perishable items should be taken directly to the food pantry in town. (Please do not drop off food pantry donations to the Church unless we are specifically collecting items for an event). Orwigsburg Area Food Pantry provides food to those in need in the Southern Schuylkill Area, Blue Mountain School District. Food Pantry is opened the 3rd Sat of every month.
Volunteer Team
Part of being a great volunteer is loving what you’re doing. Find something that you’re passionate about or something that inspires you, and then find a need in your community. There are dozens of reasons why you should volunteer – you just need to find the one that feels right. Not sure where to start, let us help! Contact us at the office office@salemum.com We have many opportunities for you to get involved and lend a hand!
WORSHIP PARTICIPANTS
We can’t have worship without YOU!
We are always in need of worship participants to help and assist during service. You do not need previous experience to help. Make your year meaningful by volunteering your time in serving during worship. We need your help to make worship a success!
