As you shop for gifts for your family this holiday season, it's a good time to reflect on how fortunate you've been through the year, and to remember that others in our are may not have had such an easy time. These nearby food pantries help families in need, and they could use replenishing now, and throughout the year:

The pantry is in need of non-perishable items (tomato sauce, coffee, tuna, canned fruit, peanut butter, jelly, crackers, canned vegetables, boxes of rice). They also need baby shampoo, toilet paper, and paper towels. Drop off your non-perishable foods in the baskets at East 4th and 5th Street doors of the church.
