Friends and Members of Church of the Pines, here is a great way to support Lakeland Pantry's fundraising efforts to increase food security in our community for our neighbors in need.
The Lakeland Pantry is one of our church's 2025 MISSION FOCUS organizations. We financially support the organization and provide volunteer assistance to increase food security for people in need. The Bear Cupboard Run/Walk helps support the Lakeland Pantry. The Pantry depends mostly on donated or raised funds for its operations and helps families in the greater Minocqua area who need food and other assistance. All funds raised through the June 28th Bear Cupboard Run support the Pantry.
Some of our church members volunteer with the Lakeland Pantry, helping distribute food there weekly. Other members and friends of our church support the Lakeland Pantry by making financial contributions. We support the Pantry every Sunday by dropping coins into our special Change for Hunger Offering.
We encourage everyone to participate in this year's Bear Cupboard by running or walking in the event or volunteering to help.
Online registration as a participant or to volunteer is required. Volunteers are needed for various tasks, including check-in, on-site registration, packet pickup, T-shirt distribution, race assistance, kids' arts and crafts, replenishing food and drinks, setup, cleanup, water stations, and safety and cross guards. There's an opportunity for everyone to get involved.
If you plan to register for the run/walk or volunteer at the event, please stop by the Ministry Center and add your name to the list of people who plan to participate from Church of the Pines or fill out the RSVP form below to let us know how you plan to participate. There are two buttons below that will take you to the online registration for the half-marathon, the 5K run/walk, or the Cubby Run for children. The other button will take you to the volunteer signup website.
