Ballard Sunday Dinners

​

Our Ballard Sunday Dinners are offered each Sunday evening to our neighbors in need since May of 2016. 

Amazing Grace rotates with several other local churches, providing dinner one Sunday a month at nearby Ballard First Lutheran Church. Before the pandemic, we served as many as 60 guests for a full hot meal, seated in the Fellowship Hall of the church. 

During the pandemic, we are serving take-away dinners to 20-30 guests per week.  Our team draws from our own congregation and their friends, and members of Sustainable Ballard, a local grassroots sustainability nonprofit.

Gift of the Month Club

​

Each month we choose a charitable activity supporting a local organization organization providing services.  Some are long-standing traditions, some change each year.  The pandemic has interfered with some of our activities, but others continue. 

For example:

Soup-er Bowl – our annual co-opetition with Center for Spiritual Living-Seattle and other CSL congregations to collect canned foods and funds for the food bank each chooses.  Amazing Grace supports Ballard Food Bank, a multi-service food bank serving our neighborhood and beyond.

​

Wellspring Family Services – each December we collect gifts and gift cards for homeless and recently housed children whose families are supported by this multi-service agency.

​

Chief Seattle Club – each November we collect funds for this Native-led housing and human services agency, in acknowledgment of the history of this land.

​

The Bridge Care Center – we collect clothing and other supplies for this organization serving women and men experiencing homelessness or economic hardship in our Ballard neighborhood.
