Christ the King Lutheran Church in Goldendale WA had its 25th annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Silent Auction on February 21, 2012. They fed 135 people in the community. It required  170 volunteer hours to perform this activity. $1730.00 was raised from the event and the Columbia Gorge Chapter of Thrivent Matched $800.00. A total of $2530.00 will go to the Back Packs for Kids program to feed school age kids, of low-income families, on the week ends. At present the Back Pack volunteers are providing nutritious snacks for about four hundred twenty five children in the county.
