We continue collecting staples such as rice, beans, cereal, pasta, flour, cooking oil, corn flour (maseca), peanut butter, mac & cheese, canned tuna or chicken, canned veggies and fruit, soups, pasta sauce, oatmeal, pancake mix, crackers, sugar, dry/powdered milk, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and small laundry detergent.

Donations can be dropped off near the fellowship hall or church office (Mon–Thu, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.) or in the Parish Hall library on Sundays. If you know someone in need of a food box, please contact the office or pastors. Together, we keep hope at the table
