M.O.R.E. - MEN'S OUTREACH ENDEAVORSFounded in 1999,. M.O.R.E. has provided Christian fellowship and camaraderie for the men of Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church while providing monetary and physical support for those in need in and around our community. On Mondays the men gather at Sunland clubhouse for breakfast at 8:30 a.m. for fellowship and to discuss current projects. In 2008 Habitat for Humanity house, partially funded by Thrivent, was worked on by MORE members and other church members. Over 20 people participated providing lunches for workers and construction for the house. Six hundred plus MORE man hours were expended on the house which was completed and dedicated this November. M.O.R.E. derives income from, Safeway Club card registry, donations (including those for the pizza dinners and men's breakfasts at the church), and special projects some of which are wholly or partially matched by Thrivent.
Funds raised by M.O.R.E. go to the following organizations:
