Both the church I attend and the one I work at have food pantry related activities.<BR/><BR/>The one that I attend donates food to a local non-denominational pantry. Each week we coordinate with them and while they will gratefully accept everything, they request specifics that are running low that week. The response at our parish has been overwhelming - with specific instructions people bring so much more. It is unreal, beautiful and great.<BR/><BR/>Where I work we run a food pantry. No questions are asked - well just one - how many do you need to feed? I take the info down and contact the coordinator who meets up with the family in need and gives them food plus grocery store gift cards in order to buy perishables.<BR/><BR/>Rant rant rant. Food is basic and people need it.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
