Sewickley UMC is collecting Easter Bags for the food pantry. You are asked to take a bag with the grocery list attached, purchase the non-perishable items, and return the filled bag with the list attached. Alternatively, you may donate cash, which will be used to purchase eggs, fresh produce, and other perishable products. Completed Easter Bags and cash donations are needed by Sunday, March 26. Grocery bags with lists are available in the back of the sanctuary and outside the office. You may also use one of the lists below on your own bag or box. Cash donations may be included with your regular offering or by e-giving – please indicate “Easter Bags.”
