The Christmas Sharing program has been woven into the current foodbank program. By purchasing this extra food at Christmas we try to assure that each foodbank client will have enough food to have a Christmas dinner.  All donated funds go directly to purchasing these extra Christmas food items. This Christmas we expect to be assisting 50 households. So if you would like to assist us in our need this year, there are envelopes at the back of each of our three churches. Just mark on the front of the envelope Christmas Sharing. We also want to thank you for all the donations and continued support over the past year. The donations are surely appreciated and they do make a difference. On behalf of the foodbank volunteers we wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and all the best in 2024.  Anyone needing a receipt please include your name and church envelope number or address.
