The Matthew 25 farm supports Fayetteville-Manlius Food Pantry and Grace Church Food Pantry.
The farm needs workers for weeding. They need charity workers who are not paid – can some of us help them in the next few days? The weeds do not wait, do they. This seems to be an opportunity for work at the farm that makes a difference for people in need.Please refer to the below info, for the process to get involved with Matthew 25 Farm.
Update from Matthew 25 Farm
Matthew 25 manager Rick and assistants Katie and Chloe have been getting fields planted, and managing crops, but with limited volunteers, have been doing the work that usually scores of volunteers help with. Volunteers are now welcome to return in groups of 22 or less, following certain precautions:
• Volunteers must register with an assistant
• Temperatures will be taken, and basic questions asked about exposure to COVID-19
• Volunteers MUST wear a mask at all times, unless they are working alone at least 10 feet from anyone else
• The farm recommends you wear gloves and bring your own water and sunscreen.
You must sign up in advance by emailing (and receiving a response) or calling 315-558-2212. Volunteers are only needed at the LaFayette farm. For more information about Matthew 25 farm, please check the website at www.matthew25farm.com
Donate by Credit Card
For members who would prefer to make pledge payments or other donations via credit card, that option is now available. Because of the concerted efforts of our Treasurer, Anne Whyte, anyone choosing this option can access the Hosted Payment Page by going to the church website: www.christchurchmanlius.org and pushing the Donation Options button. The payment page will have a dropdown list which includes 7 options including Pledge 2020. These donations will be credited on your quarterly statements just like donations given by check or cash. The processing fee charged by your credit card will be added to your donation.
Of course, those of us who would like to continue to donate via personal check or through Online Banking using Bill Pay my do so. The Finance Committee hopes that one of these three options will be accessible to everyone, especially during this time of social distancing. Any questions can be addressed to Peter Winkler, Financial Secretary, or Anne Whyte, Treasurer. Thank you!
