Our Summer Focus: Our Winecoff Blessing Box
As the school year closes out, the resources Calvary provides in the Winecoff Blessing Box become even more important to the families in the area around the school. Volunteers will continue to fill the food pantry box several times each month during the summer.
How can you help? Food donations will be needed throughout the summer. See the list below for ideas of what is needed. Please be sure to check the expiration dates to ensure that there are at least six months remaining for their use. All contributions can be placed in the designated bins in the narthex. Monetary donations are also accepted. Please designate any financial contribution as “food pantry.”
Items Needed (Please try to get cans with pop tops, whenever possible)
Canned soup, canned vegetables, canned pasta (such as Chef Boyardee), canned meat (such as chicken or tuna), microwavable mac and cheese, instant rice, oatmeal (flavored pouches suggested), grits, fruit cups, granola bars, pudding cups, saltines and peanut butter, popcorn, protein bars, beef sticks, juice boxes or pouches, applesauce pouches, Lance crackers, etc.
The school social workers also suggest that cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items are greatly appreciated.
