Sunday, November 24th
- collection during worship
Once again, we are having a town-wide food pantry collection on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 23. Food may be dropped off on Sanborn Street between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Please mention this collection to friends and family.
In addition, we will have our annual food collection during our worship service on Sunday, November 24. You are encouraged to bring items into the sanctuary this day for the collection.
We will combine the items from both collections and share one half with the Reading Food Pantry, which currently serves 200+ households across our community, and one half with Neighbors in Need, an organization which serves over 5000 families in the Greater Lawrence area each year.
Your gift of food provides more than a meal. It also helps to prevent serious health issues caused by unhealthy diets and food insecurity. Food is something that FCCR does well. Please contribute generously.
