OUR NEXT FOOD PANTRY DISTRIBUTION DATE SATURDAY — SEPTEMBER 18

The "basics" needed are: cereal, bottled juice, peanut butter, jelly, crackers, pasta, pasta sauce, canned fruit, canned vegetables, soup, tuna, macaroni and cheese, and pork 'n beans. Some suggested "extras" are rice, egg noodles, broth, canned meat and fish other than tuna, pancake and muffin mixes, condiments and salad dressing, tea and coffee and healthy snacks. You can't go wrong buying anything which is nutritional and on sale.

If you prefer that we do the shopping for you, place your monetary donation in a pew envelope and place it in the offering plate on Sunday morning. This would be a big help because it enables us to buy what is needed.

We are in need of bottles of juice and boxes of crackers. When you go shopping, would you please add a bottle of juice or a box of crackers to your cart and put it in one of the Food Pantry bins? Thank you for your donations!!

We will continue to collect school supplies for the Food Pantry children until September 12. There will be a box available next to the Food Pantry bins in the Narthex and by the entry from the parking lot.

Thanks to all who help us with this project each year. It means so much to our recipients to have extra supplies to start the school year off on the right foot.
