As part of Foundry's commitment to sustainability and caring for God's creation, we will begin phasing in the use of ceramic/stoneware mugs and silverware instead of disposable products. Please help us with this effort by donating your used 6-8 inch plates and silverware. We are also looking for volunteers to help transport these items to the automatic dishwasher at the end of each coffee hour. Please contact Jackie Wright, Social Justice Programs Manager, at jackie@foundryumc.org if you are interested in helping!
