Due to growing conditions and economic times, Second Harvest,
who supplies us with most of the food for our Food Bank is running low,
so we need your help to keep our pantry stocked.
 
Please pick up an extra items such as canned vegetables, macaroni and cheese, cereal, oatmeal, crackers, canned soups, canned fruits, pasta, rice, instant potatoes, gravy, boxed cakes, boxed brownies, boxed jello, boxed pudding, cooking oil, etc. for the Food Bank when you shop!
 
You can place your donations in the baskets in the Narthex or
drop them off at the church office Monday through Friday
between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. 
 
Thank you!
