Food Insecurity has been in the news and at the top of our minds, so the timing of our November Food Drive couldn’t be better.
There are black shopping bags in the corner of the sanctuary, and shopping lists in your bulletin. These items are what the Reading and Lawrence food pantries have designated as most needed items. You can shop for the items on the list or purchase other nonperishables that are on sale to get the most for your money.
Suggestions:
- Shelf Stable Milk (e.g. Parmalat)
- Canned Beans (all kinds, not baked)
- Canned Vegetables
- Canned Fruit (no sugar added)
- Peanut Butter
- Tuna
- Canned Ham & Chicken
- Soups (low sodium)
- Pasta Sauce
- Laundry Detergent
- Tissues
- Instant Coffee
- Canned Potatoes
- Canned Pasta
The Food Pantries have asked that you don’t bring items in glass jars, but there are usually plenty of options in cans, plastics, or bottles.
Please fill a bag and bring it to the church by November 23rd when we will also be presenting a check to Simone Payment from the Reading Food Pantry. Thank you in advance!
