Food donations are also especially welcome right now. Items like peanut butter, jelly, pasta, pasta sauce, and canned meat, canned fruit and canned beans.
Other Collections
Large Size Diapers
The Diaper Train, located at St. Saviour’s, has lost its supply resource for diapers and they are trying to meet the unexpected shortfall. The urgent need is for sizes 4, 5 and 6. Please place diapers in the collection crates in the connector.
Food Needed
Remember that food is always needed in our local pantries. When shopping pick up a couple of extra cans to place in the crate in The Connector. Canned meat, pasta, pinto beans, kidney beans and fruit are always needed. No glass or open containers please.
