The Parish Food Pantry Needs our Help!
Our families are holding steady at 125. Each household receives 3 double bags filled with food each month and the holidays will be here soon. We really need these bags!
PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR BROWN HANDLED GROCERY BAGS
AND DONATE THEM TO OUR FOOD PANTRY!
We use 600 brown handled grocery bags each month and our
supply is running low again. They may be left in the food boxes
in church, at the rectory, or dropped through the slot
outside the food pantry.
Thanks in advance for your help!
