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 Food items: all vegetables except green beans, baked beans and corn. Non food items: laundry detergent and dish soap.
The Winter Food Drive began in November — Requests for food have TRIPLED in just the last 4 years. Consequently, MCUM has resorted to a 3-day meal plan instead of their past 5-day meal plan. Help them to maintain their level of service.
Please remember to bring something EACH WEEK for the food basket located close to our front entrance. MANY THANKS!
Reminder: Perishable, expired or home-canned foods or open food packages are not accepted.
