Our next opportunity to serve at the food bank is coming up on Tuesday, February 17th from noon to 2 pm.

Our volunteer food bank service at the San Rafael warehouse usually consists of packing food so that it can be transported to distribution centers near the neighborhoods where this food is most needed.

Our coordinator is Ellen Nicosia. To participate on the February team, contact Ellen by text or email with your interest and contact info by February 5th so that she can let the food bank know who is coming: 415-720-0225 or ellennicosia@gmail.com.

We have a specific number of slots available and volunteers fill them on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our monthly Guided Meditations are opportunities to relax into a meditation with only the effort of staying focused on following the verbal guidance given. It becomes a journey of imagination and faith that we take together, though each of us receives our own guidance and experience during the process, too. Join us in this gentle practice!

All are welcome, and no previous meditation experience is necessary for this free online gathering.

Have paper and pen ready to use during the meditation.

We call our Board of Trustees a Leadership Council, and it may be a perfect place for you to serve. Our Leadership Council is a loving , experienced group of leaders, committed to supporting GGCSL with their time, leadership, and expertise.

The Leadership Council oversees staffing, policies and procedures, bylaws, income / expenses, and carrying out GGCSL’s Mission.

We meet monthly on the fourth Wednesday afternoon on Zoom for about 90 minutes, and work on our share of LC projects between meetings, preparing updates in reports for the next meeting.

We love and support each other in prayer, humor, and collaboration. The Leadership Council commits to “speaking with one voice,” and maintains appropriate confidentiality on personnel issues and donor information.

Have you considered serving GGCSL in this way? If you’re an active Member who has completed Foundations, you’re eligible to serve. Applications and info are on the Sunday Activity Table, and can also be requested via email: ggcsl@ggcsl.org.
