The Library and Pantry Ministry
The Little Free Library and the Little Free Pantry in front of the church has been helping a lot of people in our neighborhood.
For the Little Free Pantry, suggested items include boxed cereal, hot cereal, soups, granola bars, breakfast bars, protein bars, fruit bars, dried fruit, ready-to-eat canned meat, beef jerky, pasta, sauces, juices, chips, crackers, microwave popcorn, vegetables (we have plenty of green beans and dried beans, so these are not needed at this time), apple sauce, chips, Jello cups, jams, pretzels, pudding cups, toaster treats, etc. Consider adding a non-perishable pantry donation to your weekly shopping list. Please - no expired items.
It is also beneficial to bring in ready-to-eat items, easy-open items, and cans with pull tabs.
For the winter time, consider donating items that don't freeze.
We can also use soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioners, toilet paper, mouthwash, hand cream, shavers, shaving cream and tissues.
Food donations can be placed in the Health Ministry room.
For the Little Free Library, you can help by setting aside some new or gently used books to put into the library.
Anyone in the community can donate or borrow books from the Little Free Library and donate or receive food from the Little Free Pantry.
If you have any questions, contact Andrea Ballantine, Margo Dupre, Dawn Kivimaki, Ruth Palmer, or Carol Smolka.
