St. John’s supports 30 families each Christmas through our Christmas Outreach program. We provide a full Christmas dinner including a turkey for these families. Non-perishable food collection for this effort begins in October and our whole congregation is invited to take part. For more information, contact the Parish Office
Each week we will be asking for two items and you are asked to bring in only one of them the following week. These items can then be deposited in our grocery cart. Any items left over after preparing our boxes will be donated to the Food Bank:
Sunday, Oct. 18 can of vegetables / can of baked beans
Sunday, Oct. 25 can of soup (any kind) / can of tuna
Sunday, Nov. 1 bottle of jam / bottle of peanut butter
Sunday, Nov. 8 box of crackers / box of cereal

Please remember to CHECK THE EXPIRY DATE on the items you give – they will not be used until December and we are unable to distribute outdated items.
