Please help restock them! We almost ran short last Saturday. Like other local pantries, we are struggling to help families and seniors in need. You may borrow a St. Joseph Church Reusable Bag for your donation shopping, or pack it in a supermarket bag, but bring in what you can. Jesus tells us to help his people who are hungry or thirsty. (Matthew 25:35) So, would you be able to raid your own shelves or make a family field trip to the supermarket and help us reach out to people in need?
Always needed are: canned vegetables, soups, stews, tuna, beans, rice, pasta, sauce, juice, cereals, peanut butter, jelly... Special requests for Thanksgiving include Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Gravy, Boxed Potatoes, Canned Yams, etc.
We need these on or before November 11th.
Return bag and donated items to the church this week any day the church is open. Donations may be left in the church vestibule. THANK YOU for your ongoing generosity!
