Our First Annual Easter Food Basket Ministry has begun and we need your help!
It is our hope that this project will answer the call of our brothers and sisters in Christ who are struggling with food insecurity this Easter Season. We need you, our parishioners, in order to make this year a success and reach our goal of funding 350 completed boxes!
Early donations go a long way toward helping us plan how many meals we can provide. Did you know that some employers generously match contributions? Please ask your employer if this is a possibility. Due to the rising cost in food, your donations matter more than ever to help with the success of this project.
The cost of a completed basket will be $75 this year - but any donation is valued.
You may donate via the Realm link here or by providing a donation in your weekly offertory envelopes.
Please mark your envelope and check with "Easter Food Basket" and drop it in the collection basket or at the church office.
