Our offerig to the Neighbors-in-Need Food Bank was delivered on Monday morning. They were very glad to receive the canned goods, boxes of cereal and other nonperishable items. There is always a long line of cars every Tuesday morning waiting for the food bank to open and provide needy families with food items needed for the week.
Contributions of nonperishable food are always welcome and our church, even with its limited number of members tries to supply what it can to help the hungry people in our community. Some of our members send money instead of cans of food. The money contributions are also very much appreciated as they can purchase fresh food items that are not easily stored.
Last Easter when Linda R and I handed out the Easter Baskets that our congregation prepared we found that a surprisingly great variety of nutritious foods were included in the supplies provided. Please remember that the hungry are always with us and that God loves a cheerful giver, so keep the contributions coming to keep our community healthy.
