20th Annual THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
“Join together in an interfaith response to Christ's call to feed His hungry."
The St. Mark Conference of St. Vincent de Paul is joining in an interfaith effort with local churches to provide
families from our community with a Thanksgiving meal.
We feel blessed and fortunate to be able to share the love of Christ with these families this year and we are very grateful to all
of you that make this drive possible!
We are asking that
every family take an empty bag and return it filled with the suggested Thanksgiving items to complete a meal for a family in need.
Monetary donations are needed and will be used to purchase gift cards for turkeys, loaves of bread and other items. The need continues to grow each year and it’s your continued support and generosity that allows us to help our neighbors in need.
Please fill your bag with the following non-perishable items:
(No glass please!)
- 4 cans of vegetables
- 2 cans of beans (black, red, pinto, etc.)
- 1 large bag/box of white rice
- 1 large box of instant potatoes
- 1 jart of peanut butter
- 1 can or 2 envelopes of turkey gravy
|
- 1 $10 Publoiux Gift Card
- 1 dessert (cake/icing, brownie mix, etc.)
- 1 box of rolls/muffin mix
- 1 package of stuffing
- 1 large can of fruit (pears, peaches, fruit cocktail, etc.)
