Food Collection Thank You

Dear Church Family,

Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to our Community Pantry and soup kitchen’s needs this past year. We experienced a 48% increase in need in the pantry from the year before and an 18% increase in children eating in the soup kitchen in 2009.

You filled our pantry, cellar, store house and soup kitchen storage many times over. Your generosity fed over 2,000 people each month for over a year and no one was turned away.
Our shelves still reflect your compassion but there are a few things we cannot keep in stock. So many of you call us to see what the need is so we decided to send this shopping list along with our thank you.

• Canned meats (spam, ham, chicken and beef stew)
• Jelly
• Pancake mix & syrup
• Sugar
• Hot sauce
• Salt & Pepper
• Juice
• Baked beans

May God bless you as richly as you have blessed those in our community who have experienced hunger. No words can describe our gratitude for you, our church and number one partners in good.

Sincerely,
Beth Stafford, Executive Director, MACC Charities (Now On Facebook)
