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!
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 – If you prefer this route, here are the items that are most helpful:
- Cooking oil
- Rice
- Spaghetti noodles
- Pasta sauce
- Macaroni & cheese
- Ramen noodles
- Jelly
- Cereal
Make a financial contribution
Make sure to select “Food Drive” as the fund. The fund will be open until the end of day on Tuesday, March 31. Additional funds collected beyond the goal will be used to serve the community.
Drop-offs
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.
Thank you so much for helping us serve families in our community!
