FOOD PANTRY

Our Missions Committee is providing food bags for families experiencing hardship and need. We will be making distributions the third week of each month. As we seek to keep the shelves stocked we are in need of some particular items. We have an abundance of vegetables, especially corn. but need other staples so that we might provide enough variety to prepare complete meals. Items most needed are:

SETTLEMENT MISSION PROJECT

Led by our United Methodist Women, our congregation has adopted The Settlement, a group home affiliated with the United Methodist Children's Home, as an ongoing mission project. We will be periodically providing various staples and personal hygiene items. Items may be brought to the church office throughout the year. We will warehouse them until planned distribution dates once a quarter. Items requested are:

• Toilet Paper
• Body Wash
• Toothbrushes
• Undershirts (LG and XLG)
• Boxers (LG and XLG)
• Laundry Degergent
• Fabric Softener
• Dish Detergent

Additionally, cash donations may be made and marked for The Settlement. Those funds will be used for things like haircuts and special needs. When buying items don't just buy the cheapest things you can find. Buy what you would use for your family. We want the boys to feel like they are our family!
