GLADE VALLEY
COMMUNITY SERVICES FOOD BANK:
Keeping the Food Bank stocked is vitally important for those in our
community without other resources to feed their families. The shelves
of the Food Bank are constantly in need of replenishing. If you would
like to help out, a large box is in the back of the sanctuary for your
donations. Below are some suggestions on what is needed. For
additional information, please contact Orly Bourland.
Canned fruit would
be most helpful – peaches, pears, etc – and maybe some miscellaneous
items like cans of coffee, instant pudding mixes, jelly, ketchup,
mustard, etc? Each household gets 3 to 4 miscellaneous items along with
the specified numbers of fruit, beans, veggies, starches, meats, etc…and
there hasn’t been much ‘miscellaneous’ to give out other than jello and
pancake mix and syrup.
