The Oxford Ecumenical Council and Food Shelf is holding a silent auction, with 100% of the money raised going directly to the Oxford Food Shelf.

The Council is auctioning a gorgeous quilt lovingly sewn by a council member. It more than fits a twin-sized bed.

Council members will be at Saint Ann Church  at the 9 am and 11 am masses on Sunday, Dec. 10, displaying the quilt, helping to record the bids, and answering questions about the auction. The Council has an opening bid of $200. 

Serious bidders may also call the Food Shelf at 508-987-1062 to leave your bid. 

Table Talk Pies comes through for us again - by donating 102 apple pies to complete the holiday meal fixings bag we are distributing to our families this month! These guys are awaiting our families and will be loading their groceries, holiday fixings bags, and individual pies into their vehicles for them.  

Thank you all for your generosity and all you do for the local community.

Library Holds Soup Drive 

Our neighbor, the Oxford Free Public Library, is holding a Soup Drive to benefit the Oxford 

Ecumenical Council and Food Shelf. What a great idea! Stop at the library to get a book and leave a can of soup for someone who could use a hot meal. The soup drive is ongoing, through early February. Please support the library and the Food Shelf! Thank you to all for your continued generosity! 

Thank you so much to everyone in the local community who has donated to the Food Shelf during this Thanksgiving season! Our families and our volunteers are most appreciative. This week, we received this generous donation from Jack and Jill Preschool. So cute and helpful!

Local Yogis are Generous 

Our neighboring yogis do it again! Better Life With Yoga held a food drive for the Oxford Ecumenical Council and Food Shelf and dropped off their generous donation this morning! Our families and volunteers appreciate all you do for the local community, especially during the Holiday Season! Thank you - and Namaste!

Always thinking of our families! We recently invested in new shelving for our non-perishable food items that's more open and accessible. Not a lot of reaching up or down or in! Remember, at the Oxford Food Shelf you choose the foods that are right for your family. Many thanks to our Ecumenical Council for their help with this project. 

We love our teachers! The Oxford Education Association collected enough non-perishable food items to fill two carts! Faculty at all four schools and students at the elementary schools participated. Thank you so much. We live in such an amazing community!
