This year the LSS (Lutheran Social Services) Food Pantry has asked us for the food items listed below for the Thankfull Holiday Food Baskets. Last year the pantry served more than 13,013 families, over 51 families each day. Food insecurity is a real issue and it affects 1 in 6 families in our own community.
Each year, the Lutheran Food Pantry provides special Thanksgiving meals - (in addition to the usually 3-day supply of food) - to hundreds of needy families in Fairfield County.
This year, with our help, they hope to continue that tradition for more than 450 Fairfield County families for the holiday season.
St Peter’s Church has been asked to participate by donating up to 40 each of the items listed below. Collection Boxes/Carts are located in the Social Room, and the back of the sanctuary.
Stove Top Stuffing Mix, Instant Potatoes, Canned Corn or Green Beans Canned Fruit (no applesauce, please), Cake Mix & Icing, Egg Noodles, and Cranberry Sauce.
