Congregation-Wide Service Project: Pantry Care Packages
Each week during Lent, we will collect different personal care and cleaning items. On March 29, we will adjust our time slightly, so that we can assemble care packages for our pantry families. Case workers’ clients are grateful to receive such things as shampoo, deodorant, and toilet paper, because these supplies cannot be purchased with food assistance cards.
You can actually donate any of these items at any time, and monetary donations are accepted online or by check with “Lent Project” in the check memo. Monetary donations will be used to purchase additional items not on the list and to even out the items for assembling the care packages. If you’re considering making a financial donation, each care package costs about $25.
