To help patrons of the food pantry prepare Thanksgiving dinner, Outreach is inviting you to fill a grocery bag with the non-perishable items traditionally used at Thanksgiving. Purchase the items listed below for a small or large family, and return the filled bag to SUMC. Attach the grocery list to the bag to identify whether the bag is for a small or large family. Monetary donations are also needed to purchase grocery gift cards so that the families may purchase turkey and other perishable items. Monetary gifts may be made with your regular offering or through SUMC’s VANCO eGiving portal — please indicate “Thanksgiving Bags.” All donations are due no later than Sunday, November 19th.
