The Grace Blog

As we all know, some of us have more than others. Over the Thanksgiving holiday those with more have an opportunity to help those with less.  Grace Presbyterian is helping our neighbors by collecting food (or money) to help the Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church Food Pantry.  For the Yellow Bag collection in October and throughout our Stewardship season our congregation is collecting specific items to fill food baskets.

Below are the items we need to fill each food basket:

• Canned Veggies – 3 (Green Beans, Corn, etc.)
• Canned beans – 1
• Spaghetti O’s, Rivoli, etc. – 1
• Tomatoes (sauce or diced) – 1
• Soups – 2 (Ckn Noodle, Tomato)
• Ramen Noodles – 1 pkg. (Ckn & Beef)
• Mac & Cheese – 1
• Canned Fruit – 1
• Canned Meat – 1 (tuna, ckn)
• Meat Helper – 1
• Cereal – 1
• Toilet Paper – 2 rolls
• Canned Cranberries
• Dressing Mix
• Can of Chicken Broth
• Gravy Mix
• Mashed Potato (dry in box)
• Jello w/canned fruit cocktail
• Muffin Mix

ALL MONETARY GIFTS HELP US PURCHASE PERISHABLES SUCH AS MILK, BREAD, CHEESE, TURKEY BREAST, ETC.  CHECKS CAN BE MADE OUT TO GRACE, BUT PLEASE DESIGNATE YOUR DONATION FOR FOOD PANTRY.

OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE 35 FULL THANKSGIVING FOOD BASKETS.
