To help patrons of the food pantry prepare Thanksgiving dinner, Outreach is asking that you fill a grocery bag with the non-perishable items that are traditionally used at Thanksgiving. Please take a bag with “grocery list” attached (see display table in sanctuary) – some are for small families, some for larger families. Purchase the items listed and return the filled bag to church. Thanksgiving Bags must be returned no later than November 22nd, as the distribution will be on Monday, November 23rd. Monetary donations are needed to purchase Giant Eagle gift cards so that the families may purchase perishable items. Mark those gifts “Thanksgiving Bags” or use EasyTithe.
