November
As the need for food is great in Stratford, we will continue a food drive in November. The focus will be Meals for a Day with donations benefiting Shelterlink and the Community Food Shelf at Avondale United Church.
You are invited to bring on:
November 3rd – food items for breakfast (cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, peanut butter, jam, etc.)
November 10th – food items for lunch (canned fish – tuna, salmon; canned meat – chicken, ham, crackers, soup, peanut butter, Kraft Dinner, etc.)
November 17th – food items for dinner (canned foods – stew, chili, vegetables, fruit, pasta; spaghetti sauce, macaroni, spaghetti, etc.)
November 24th – food items for snacks (cookies, fruit cups, pudding, etc.)
and place them in the bins in the narthex.
Please consider supporting this much needed outreach for our community.
