Our Fall Food Drive Continues!
Our Fall Food Drive has been in full swing for several weeks, and we’re grateful for the generosity shown so far. As we give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy during this season, we invite you to continue remembering those in our community experiencing food insecurity. Last year we collected an impressive 110 bags of food during October and November—let’s keep the momentum going and see if we can meet or even exceed that total this year! Reusable bags and lists of most-needed items are available in the Gathering Space. Please consider taking a bag, or using one from home, filling it with non-perishable food or hygiene items, and returning it to the church. All donations will support the All Saints’ Deacon’s Cupboard Food Bank in Whitby. Thank you for helping make a difference in our community!
