Food Bank

Our committee has decided to become involved with a program called “Food for Life” that provides boxes of food for lower income seniors (55+.)  We will need volunteers once a month to help pick up the boxes of food from the food bank and deliver them to approximately 5-10 seniors in the Hartwood area. If you know of a senior that needs a “helping hand” and may be eligible, contact the church office.

We have begun collecting nonperishable foods to start a food pantry at our church.  It will be used to create emergency boxes for people who are experiencing hard times.  Items suggested by the food back to be put into the boxes are; dry cereal, nonperishable milk, peanut butter, jelly/jam, tuna, other canned meat, dry spaghetti/pasta, pasta sauce, macaroni and cheese, canned soup, canned meats (stews, ravioli, etc), ramen noodles, canned vegetables and fruits, crackers, canned juice, snacks, cookies, baby food, formula, hygiene items (soap, toothpaste, etc.)  The food pantry will not be available for several months as we need to collect the foods that will be stored there first.
