Regular Events and Activities 

This is a photograph of the street front of Blessings Food Bank.

St. Andrew's Church supports the Blessings Food Bank in Zurich. Our St. Andrew's contacts for Blessings are Richard and Mary Erb.

Each month, items most needed will be posted here so that when shopping, if you are able, you can pick up the items. 

Simply bring the items to Church on Sunday and place them in the Blessings bins and they will be delivered to the Food Bank.

We are in need of tinned meat -  ham, chicken, turkey. Condiments of any kind,  juice, dish soap toilet paper, tinned veggies. 

The Clever Cook's Guide is selling like hotcakes and in an AMAZON best seller!


Sam Robinson, the wonderful young man who  created this book, is donating all proceeds to the building/moving fund for the Bayfield Area Food Bank.  To the right is an image listing all of the places you can purchase the cook books.


This book is a great gift for mom and also a wonderful gift for children and grandchildren starting out on their own.  The recipes are healthy and use ingredients that are reasonably priced and easy to find.


You will also find some recipes submitted by members of St. Andrew's UC in the book!

This is a poster showing all of the places the Cook Book is being sold.
