Harvest of Hope Food Pantry
Harvest of Hope, a ministry of Sanlando United Methodist Church, offers non-perishable groceries to anyone in need of assistance. The pantry can be accessed through the church lobby located across from the forest parking lot. There are designated distribution periods, and guests who wish to be served during the earlier window must complete check-in ahead of time. To keep school traffic flowing safely, please do not arrive early, and note that numbers are only handed out once operations begin. For questions or assistance, speak only with Harvest of Hope volunteers. When your number is called, have a seat and wait until invited to the window. Restrooms are not available, and smoking is not permitted anywhere on the premises.
Blue Rune 40k Escalation League
Blue Rune 40k Escalation League is a four-week, hobby-centered Warhammer 40,000 campaign created for newcomers and returning players. The focus is steady army growth, painting progress, and building community rather than squeezing every advantage out of matched play. Rosters grow each week. Start at up to 300 points with exactly one Character and one Unit. In week two, expand to 400 points by adding one new Unit to your existing roster. Week three climbs to 550 points with one additional Unit, and this is when vehicles and monsters become legal options. Week four caps the journey at 750 points with one more Unit added. Progress in the league is measured through hobby and community milestones. Players earn points for getting their weekly game in and for painting fresh models for their escalation force each week. Extra credit comes from bringing a new participant, winning the closing community vote for Most Creative Army, restocking paints, tools, or building supplies at the store each week for a Forge Master Commendation, and purchasing at least one new Warhammer model kit from Blue Rune Hobby and Games each week for the Quartermaster Achievement. Registration is followed by weekly games throughout the campaign. Entry options include a $15 pass that covers the full four weeks or a $5 weekly drop-in. Space is limited to eight players.
