In 2010, The Pantry at HMUMC distributed over 39,000 pounds of food to just 306 families. This is only possible with the support of the entire congregation and we would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone that donated food or resources to The Pantry in 2010. Last week, The Pantry set a new record with 64 boxes going out the door and today we only have enough food on the shelves in the pantry for about 21 boxes. If every adult attending a Sunday church service would bring one (1) item, we would have enough food to meet the demand. Items that are currently most needed are:
· Canned meat (tuna or chicken)
· Spaghetti Sauce
· Canned pasta (ravioli, spaghetti-o’s)
· Canned fruit
· Boxed potatoes, rice or pasta
· Peanut butter and jelly
In the coming weeks we will be restructuring our volunteer force to meet the ever increasing need. If you would like to work in The Pantry or be a part of our community resource team, please contact John Boozer at john_boozer@yahoo.com or 678-591-3889.
