October Pantry Update

Thanksgiving Pantry:   Turkeys have been ordered, church partners are collecting items for us, donations are coming in and we are getting ready for our biggest pantry of the year! Our volunteer sign up is full for Thanksgiving pantry and we are grateful for those that are helping. 

We have ordered 200 turkeys to be given out during the Thanksgiving pantry.  Monetary donations are still needed to help cover the cost of the turkeys.  The “turkey” table is set up in the narthex  if you would like to donate toward the purchase of the turkeys. Thank you for your ongoing support of the food pantry.

October Numbers: we served 186 households, equaling 724 individuals.  This is yet another increase in numbers and the reason this ministry is so vital to our neighbors.

Current Needs: Our greatest need this month is ramen noodles and cereal.  The need for plastic grocery bags is constant as these are used for frozen items and tp/soap.
