Bag a Month Food Collection Program
Program – On the first Sunday (weekend) of each month, the Food Committee of our Parish will accept donations of food which will be distributed to community food pantries.
●We are requesting a full or partial bag of specific food items.
Food Committee & Volunteers - A Food Collection Committee has been formed as a new Parish Ministry. The committee will coordinate the collection, sorting and distribution of donated food to local county food pantries. Anyone wishing to volunteer to assist on this one weekend a month should call Jim Conrad on 226-7420.
Bag of Food – We are requesting a full or partial bag of non-perishable food in non-breakable containers. A full bag would include the following items: 2 cans of tuna, 2 cans of vegetable soup, 1 jar of spaghetti sauce, 1 lb. spaghetti or rice, 2 boxes of macaroni and cheese, 1 jar of peanut butter, 2 cans of a green vegetable, 2 cans of baked beans, 1 can of fruit, 1 box of powdered milk, 1 box unsweetened cereal. Parishioners are encouraged to add other items such as soap, toothbrushes, paper goods, dishwashing detergents, etc.
●The Committee members have shopped at local food markets for a full bag andfound the cost to be between $23 and $33.
●Recyclable bags will be made available the week before for Food CollectionWeek end for donations. Please use recyclable bags only for donations.
Distribution – Volunteers will consolidate the food for pickup by the food pantries. Bags will not be stored in the church or church buildings.
