Food Drive Begins July 10

We have reached the midpoint of summer and are beginning to run low on food pantry staples and other items.   We’ve also recently partnered with our neighbor, The Children’s Place, providing them with food items that are sent home with students in special weekend backpacks. (Those items are listed below with an asterisk *) Any items that we provided to The Children’s Place  MUST be Peanut and Nut free as many of the children have peanut allergies/sensitivities.
 
Food pantry donations can be placed in the baskets in the church vestibule anytime or dropped off at the Social Services Pantry on the following dates and times:  Monday and Tuesday July10-11 and 17-18,  10am-2pm  and Thursday and Friday July13-14 and  20-21, 10am-Noon.
