Even though the temperature is still warm we are looking ahead to the winter season.
We have started to collect for Thanksgiving: stuffing mix, gravy, cranberry sauce, cake mixes, Jell-O, pudding and pie mixes so if you are shopping and see any of these items on sale please think about helping a family to have a happier day.
This week we had 29 new families sign in to start coming to the pantry!!!!!!
Sunday September 18TH we are having a Silpata Party to benefit the pantry in the Church Hall. It will be from 2PM-4PM. Please feel free to stop by and chat, browse or shop!! Lots of our volunteers will be there to meet and greet you. There will be jewelry demonstrations and some yummy goodies to munch on.
This Christmas we hope to again distribute new blankets to our families. The blanket drive will bee from Thanksgiving up until Christmas.
We are collecting winter coats to be distributed when the weather turns cold. Please only donate clean coats that are not in need of repair. There will be a drop off bin near the food pantry door inside the Church hall. Donations can be left during food pantry hours or when the Church is open for Mass or Bingo.
Finally a Huge Hug and Thank You to Eric Simmons who created this blog and maintained it for the past two years. It will be hard to fill his shoes!
