Community giving opportunity through the Interfaith Coalition 

Wayne Weinschenk and Raizelah Bayen are currently working together to expand volunteer /giving opportunities for the RCZC sangha. 

We are working through the Interfaith Coalition where Red Cedar is a member congregation.

Help Feed the Homeless Population: 

CAST is the Coffee & Sandwiches Together program coordinated by the Interfaith Coalition. Through this program, every weekday afternoon meals are prepared, delivered and served in downtown Bellingham to the homeless population. 

RCZC will be creating a team working on the 3rd Wednesday of every month to deliver and serve meals. Delivery is roughly between 4:00 and 5:00 pm; serving is about 5:00 to 7:00 or 7:30 pm. 

If you would like to join our team, please contact Raizelah (contact information below).

If Wednesday afternoons/evenings don't work for you, there are other opportunities to volunteer. They need sandwich makers on some days (this happens in the mid-afternoon) and people willing to substitute at other times.

Everyone first needs to get their Food Handlers Permit. This is a simple process involving a short, online course and quiz (cost: $10) which can be done totally online.

Help Support our Immigrant Neighbors:
I've also been contacted by the Whatcom Faith Community Immigrant Support Group. They are interested in our help and we need a contact person from them on our side. If interested, contact me and I will send you a description of what they do and who to contact.

Again, if you would like to be on the RCZC CAST team, volunteer within the CAST program on another day, or would like to serve as our contact to the Immigrant Support Group, please contact:
