Monthly Emphasis for the Food Pantry
St. Thomas support of MCUM continues to increase substantially. The increase is the good news; the bad news is that the tremendous need goes on.
Please remember the poor on your next shopping trip and remember this month's focus of greatest need is rice, canned mixed vegetables and canned carrots, potatoes, and beets. Non-food items needed are small travel size bottles of hair conditioner, scouring pads/sponges (not Brillo type).
Reminder: Perishable, expired or home-canned foods or open food packages are not accepted.
