This project runs all year through Pointers Run Elementary School and New Hope Church is meeting this community need during the summer as a mission project for Kingdom Kidz. A major hunger problem occurs at the end of the month when one social security check runs out and before the new one arrives. Many seniors have transportation and physical limitation issues that make it difficult for them to get to the area food banks.
The cost of low/no salt, low/no sugar, and diabetic food has sky rocketed. Seniors often face the difficult choice whether to buy food or medicine. The purpose of ‘Sharing Our Pantry' is to assemble nutritionally balanced food packages that will be delivered to low-income seniors. Drop of your donations on Sabbath August 4th, 11th and 18th at the drop boxes in the church hallways and entrances. Additional information is available at Kidz Church registration and the Ask Me Desk. Needed donations:
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Powdered milk & canned soups
- Tuna, peanut butter, tomato sauce
- Packaged pasta/mac and cheese
- Nutritious cereals
- LOW SALT, NO SUGAR and items for DIABETICS
- Gift cards to Weis Market, Safeway and Giant Food to purchase fresh meat/dairy items
