And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
—2 Corinthians 9:8
Everyone has a blessing they can share with others, and everyone seeks to experience abundant life. At West Side we’re learning that abounding in generosity abundantly blesses both the giver and the one receiving a gift.
Twice a year we make these gifts financially to local and global mission partners. Throughout the year, as Connect Groups and individually, we seek ways to bless our neighbors through service.

Food Lifeline
Six of us went to Food Lifeline (food bank for the food banks) this afternoon. We helped process 3000 pounds of cabbage to prepare it for distribution to food banks. The best news is if you are a regular volunteer, you can be trained on a forklift!
West Seattle Junction Clean Up
Food Lifeline
Our Rooted Group did our Serve Day with helping clean up West Seattle, picking up litter, cleaning behind garbage dumpsters etc. The rainy weather held off until we were driving home!
It’s surprising how much you can learn and how much produce you can process in a couple of hours — pulling out the rotten and moldy items for compost and then sorting the rest into boxes of “hard" and “soft" fruit and vegetables for stacking. It’s all sent out to area food banks for use within a couple of days.
