Mountainbrook Church raises $9,000 for SLO Food Bank

San Luis Obispo

During two Sunday services on Sept. 24, Mountainbrook Church collected $9,000 for the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County.

Thom O’Leary, lead pastor of Mountainbrook Church said: “What an incredible blessing it has been for Mountainbrook Church to partner with the Food Bank Coalition of SLO County over the last decade. Knowing that they are feeding the hungry right here in our own backyard is wonderfully amazing.”

As well, Mountainbrook youths raised over $1,000 for the Food Bank at their Kid’s Camp in June.
