C0MMUNITY SERVICE
We had a great response in July to our FOOD DRIVE to benefit the Maple Springs UMC Food Pantry, and are continuing our efforts in August. Recently, Pantry Manager Heather Schenck
thanked N&N for the July donations, saying, “Your donation today was incredibly large and will do so much good! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”
The pantry helps families in need - many who are disabled, have mental health issues and are elderly.
Pantry needs include: canned meats and fish (chicken, sausage, spam, sardines, tuna, salmon), cereal (not oatmeal), jelly, coffee, powdered milk, non-refrigerated milk in cartons, oil, spices, and any other nonperishable food. Other items are baby diapers and toilet paper. They will also accept $10 gift cards. Please bring donations to our August general meeting.
