Food Shelf Shopping List:

           Thanks to all who have made donations to the food shelf!  Please let me know if you would like to volunteer one Saturday morning a month at the food shelf.  (A number of you have already spoken to me about volunteering, and I will contact you soon.)  We will also create a substitute list, so that will be another way to volunteer on a less regular basis.  This food shelf ministry will be a work-in-progress as we work out the kinks and discover what works best.  A few lessons learned so far:

· We cannot hand out expired food or items that are dented.  Please check items before donating.

· White rice, 12-16 oz. bags/boxes of pasta, and single bags/boxes of cereal are more user-friendly than other types/sizes.

· Donations of food (see list below) or money are welcome.  Please consider making a regular or monthly donation, so that the food shelf can thrive and become a blessing to many.

 

If you have any questions, please leave a message at the church office.
