The newly established Food and Hunger Group is very pleased to be restarting the monthly collections for All Faiths Food Bank that were stopped during Covid. The collections will start on October 1 and take place the first Sunday of every month thereafter.
All Faiths would appreciate any items in jars and/or cans along with items that have a long shelf life like pasta, pudding, Jello etc. The old standby items of peanut butter, jelly, and spaghetti sauce are also needed.
This collection is not a time to empty your cabinet of items you don't like that are nearing their expiration date, but rather a time to give what you think people will enjoy with an expiration date of at least 8 months in the future.
There will be a basket in the narthex labeled ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK. Please place your items in the basket or next to it if the basket is full.
