In a post on their page, the orchard asked for volunteers to help pick gala apples over the next few weeks. The page recommends that volunteers be at least 12 years or older.

Volunteers unpacked multiple Mail trucks for the Annual Letter Carriers’ Food Drive at Winterwood Post Office to replenish our Food Pamtry with non perishable foods. Big Thanks to all those who volunteered and those who donated so graciously!

Today's the day! Don't forget to put out your non-perishable food donations to benefit your local food banks and pantries. Just place your donation next to your mailbox, and your letter carrier will handle it from there! 🥫

Amazing Grace Ministries and Epicenter on the Parkway host weekly hot dinners every Wednesday evening.

It’s National Food Pantry Week and this week we celebrate the life of Reverend Bonnie Polley, our Founder. She served as Deacon at Christ Church Episcopal, the oldest church in Las Vegas, for almost 40 years. The Review Journal named her the “Mother Theresa of Las Vegas” for her contributions to the community. She also served as the Chaplain to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and also to the thousands of inmates who have made their way through the Clark County Jail for decades. Our Founder Bonnie, passed away just a few weeks ago.

Bonnie started the Epicenter as a simple food pantry and in the years since it’s founding, it has grown into so much more! Opening David’s Digs a couple years ago, the Epicenter now provides daily Showers and Laundry Services as well as serving as a mini Post Office, so homeless patrons can get the crucial paperwork needed to get assistance and get off the street. Not to mention, we provide a warm dinner and fellowship every Wednesday night….and all this happens right in the heart of our homeless population just off Sahara and Maryland Parkway, in the shadows just east of the Las Vegas Strip. Hundreds of people make their way through our doors weekly.

This is National Food Pantry Week and this year, in honor of the life of the Deacon Bonnie Polley, we are hosting a FaceBook Fundraiser. And now, we would like to ask you for a little help. Would you please help us honor Bonnie and also help feed the hungriest and least among us and donate to the Epicenter on the Parkway? Know your dollars are going directly to help those MOST IN NEED as we are a volunteer run 501c3 organization with only 2 part-time employees. Your dollars go far. Thank you for taking the time to read our tribute and for your consideration of our request.
