St. Mary's Guild helps food bank
June 22, 2012
Zita Pace (r) of St. Mary's Episcopal Church Guild, presents a $200 check to Christine Villanueva for the Community Action Agency Food Bank.
One of the oldest and smallest church service groups in Bonner's Ferry, Saint Mary's Guild, recently continued their giving, making a $200 donation to the Community Action Partnership Food Bank.

The guild, an independent women's service organization, was founded at the turn of the century by a group of women including Mary Hawkins. Through their dedication and hard work, they founded St. Mary's Episcopal Church, now located at 6850 Denver Street, Bonners Ferry.

Though the church seats 67, average attendance is only 20, and the Guild is comprised of only six very active ladies who organize and hold three or four sales each year to benefit a school in Uganda, Africa, and local organizations such as the food bank and the Bonners Ferry Alternative High School.
