Easy Way to Help Hungry Families
We have an easy opportunity to live out our faith and help families that are in need. Capital Area Food Bank helps families across our whole region and we can help them out. You'll see a big white box in our building next to the door to the worship area. Any week (or every week) you can drop off some food to help supply the food bank. All you do is drop it in the box - we'll take it from there. What food should I collect?
healthy, non-perishable food
items with intact, un-opened consumer or commercial packaging
items with non-breakable packaging (no glass please)
food within the expiration date on the packaging
What items do clients request most?
peanut butter
canned chicken breast or tuna
canned low sodium vegetables
canned fruit in its own juice (no sugar added)
dry pinto beans
brown rice
non-fat dry milk powder
100% whole grain cereal
