That’s a wrap for our March Food Drive! Wow, you all have pulled together a total of $37,214 for The Corner Shelf – when our goal was $25,000! Thank you! Each dollar will help us immensely in continuing to serve our neighbors in need. Thanks also those who donated paper bags and dry goods!
March is Food Nutrition Month, so throughout the month, we’re collecting food, donations and brown paper bags for our food shelf, the Corner Shelf. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to help support our food-insecure neighbors! Donations not only help provide food for those in need, but also contribute to facility improvements that will make our operations run more smoothly.
At the Corner Shelf, we continue to see an increased need for food. It’s a great testimony that most weeks we can still keep up with the demand, and we want to continue to support as many families as we can. Our food drives help ensure that!
How you can help:
- Make a financial contribution – Because of the food distribution partnerships we have, this is a very cost-effective way to make a difference. Every $1 buys roughly three meals!
- Drop off grocery bags – We would love to give your brown paper bags a second life! We go through hundreds of them each week, and typically need to purchase some to keep up.
- Donate food – Here are the food items that are most helpful:
- Cooking oil
- Rice
- Instant mashed potatoes
- Dry pasta

On Sundays throughout the month of March, you can drop off food donations and grocery bags in the Gathering Area at church. If you’d like to bring food or bags to church on a different day of the week, just email Kinsey: kzafke@whchurch.org.
