Help4Kids "Let's Fill the Van Lent Mission"
Help4Kids "Let's Fill the Van Lent Mission" is beginning Monday, February 16. Ash Wednesday is a great day to begin bringing in items for our Lenten Mission Drive which will continue through Palm Sunday, March 29. We will be collecting different food each week for Help4Kids and Backpack Buddies. Lists for what to bring this week are in today's bulletin. A flier for the duration to put on your fridge or counter for shopping ideas are available in the Narthex or the Wave entrances. Our goal is to fill the van each week, delivering on Mondays to Help4Kids. We are in need of sturdy boxes right now. If you are making a trip to Costco, Sam's Club or a grocery store, heavy duty banana boxes and fruit boxes with handles are the best ones to grab for us. Please bring your boxes and food donations to Room 5 anytime you attend Sunday Service, a Men’s or Women’s Group Meeting, Wednesday Night Meals, Committee Meetings, Prayer Groups, etc. or ring the bell during office hours and drop off at your convenience.
Our first week we are looking for the following:
Week 1 February 16 to 22nd
Week 1 February 16 to 22nd
Backpack Buddies – packets of flavored instant oatmeal, individual cereal boxes, pop-top canned pasta like Spaghetti O's, instant lunch noodles in the Styrofoam containers.
Help4Kids – Large boxes of dry cereal, spaghetti/pasta/noodles, ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, 1 pound bags of rice or dried beans, jars of sauce.
