“We had about fifty families this morning, so, again, our shelves are bare…”

Although Food Bank Sunday is typically held on the third Sunday of the month, the holiday schedule and recent cancellations meant that many of us were unable to bring our offerings of non-perishable food items last Sunday.

We will have a special Food Bank Sunday this Sunday, January 22.  We are asked to bring our offerings of non-perishable food items (or consider a monetary contribution to the food bank) to help meet the immediate needs of our neighbours and friends, even as we continue to address the underlying injustices that lead to long-term food insecurity.

Of particular need this month are:

• Jams
• Cheeze Whiz
• Peanut Butter/Wow Butter
• cans of fruit
• cans of vegetables
• Kraft Dinner
• cake mixes
• Hamburger Helper
• syrup
• decaf coffee/tea bags
• evaporated milk
• lunch bars
• little fruit cups
• little packages of Cheese and crackers
• cookies

Stocks of cereal, tomatoes, spaghetti sauce and pasta are at acceptable levels.

Thank you for your help in addressing this urgent need.
