Food donations

No posts for weeks, now three in one day! We're playing catch-up around here...

Thanks so much to Mother Seton Parish, for doing another great September food drive! Thanks to Sarah Burkholder of Messiah Lutheran Church, for bringing in Messiah's excellent food donation last week and staying to put it ALL away. Darnestown Presbyterian Church packs boxes the first weekend of every month; they bring a nice pile of food with them and tidy the pantry beautifully, too! Judy Brodbeck hauled in another donation from Victory Christian Church a few weeks ago, thanks as always.

Despite all this excellent donating, we are buying a lot of food, as usual for this time of year. We need it all: Spaghetti sauce & pasta, soups, veggies, fruits, cereal, peanut butter, tuna, and rice. We are also collecting food specific to our Emergency Services outreach: Soup, ravioli, veggies and fruit in pop-top cans; breakfast bars; and other easy-to-eat nonperishable snacks and foods that can be used with no refrigeration and minimal cooking facilities.

Holiday Giving-specific requests are: New toys; Giant gift cards ($10 and $20); and Target gift card ($15-$20). Referrals are already pouring in, it will be Thanksgiving before we know it!
