This month, St. John’s will be gathering nonperishable food for the Grace Food Pantry. Paper bags, along with suggested grocery lists, will be distributed November 8/9 and 15/16. Please return bags to the Welcome Center by Sunday, November 23.

The Food Pantry redefined the term “busy summer“ this year, serving over 1000 households in each of June, July and August. This surely had to be the busiest summer in their 51 year history. In those three months this year they served 3,169 household and 7,979 individuals, compared with 2,717 households and 6,709 individuals over the same period a year ago. That’s a 17% increase in households and 9% in individuals served.

Please share from your abundance to help our neighbors in need. If you prefer to make a monetary donation, you can make donations on Realm or by placing cash or a check in the basket by drop off area.
