FOOD PANTRY COLLECTION WEEKEND OCTOBER 11
Canning Hunger is more than a food drive--it's an initiative with a double impact!
Here's how it works: Knock on the doors of ten neighbors and invite them to donate non-perishable food or household essentials for a local food pantry. Not only will we help those facing food insecurity, it will also open the doors to meaningful conversations with your neighbors!
Materials are available in the Lobby beginning September 27. Bring your collections to the drive-thru drop-off during weekend services October 11.
