12. Food Closet: with the state of the economy, many in our community have needed to visit the Food Closet as never before. There is a plastic bin in the Narthex where you can drop off donations. Any & all non-perishable food items would be most appreciated as well as personal hygiene products. This week the focus is: pasta, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dried beans, chili, beef stew, canned vegetables. Let’s continue to be the hands & feet of Jesus in our community.
