EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRY
|
Sunday, August 4, will be the next Sunday for collecting items for the Emergency Food Pantry. In July we collected 32.15 lbs. for the food pantry. Through July, we have collected a total amount of 306.10 lbs, which is 12.10 lbs over our goal of collecting the average weight of 6 5-year old boys.
Since we reached our goal, I decided to challenge us to collecting the average weight of 6 5-year old girls by the end of the year. The average weight of a 5-year old girl is about 40 lbs. We would need to collect 240 lbs. to equal 6 5-year old girls. We averaged 44 lbs. per month the first 7 months, so we should be able to make this goal. Current needs include the following: Canned Tuna, Peanut Butter, Canned Fruit, Rice (one-pound bag white or brown rice), Pasta/noodles Toilet Paper, Bar soap. They also accept other non-perishable items, basic hygiene items, and egg cartons (must be 1 dozen carton and perfer large size). If you wish to make a monetary donation, please make the check out to St. Mark's Lutheran Church and notate Emergency Food Pantry on the memo line. |
