Food Pantry
FILL-A-BAG SUNDAYS
To help alleviate some of the strain on food pantries caused by increased food insecurity, Sacred Heart is asking you to fill a grocery bag with non-perishable items and bring it to church on the first Sunday of each month.
Our first recipient was Lexington Food Pantry, and this will alternate with the Arlington food pantry on the first Sunday of the month. Here are some needs of the Food Pantries: Baked beans, canned fruit, canned vegetables, macaroni and cheese, pasta, peanut butter, and shelf stable milk; also, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and other household necessities. They would prefer these items be placed in grocery bags with handles, because they are easily recycled for food distribution.
The food pantries and those they serve appreciate your support. If you are interested in volunteering on a Saturday to help with distribution to clients, please sign up on https://signup.com/go/ADhwSFE or contact Lexingtonfoodpantry.org.
Please contact Donnalee Farris (dlee1193@hotmail.com) with questions.
Thank you.
