 "ONE CAN AT A TIME" DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

 

 

 

 

foodOur food donations made a huge difference last year --- we would like to continue helping hungry children and families that depend on a bit of help from food pantries at the end of the month.  If you wish to participate, please bring a can of food to the General Meeting.  Brown paper bags and plastic grocery bags are also needed. 

 

We donated to Bridges to the Salvation Army in March -  they were very appreciative as their pantry was almost bare.  Our May and June food drives will be dedicated to helping children in the Redding School District Summer School Program.  All kinds of food are needed - many of these children come from extremely poor families and food will be sent home with them after school.

 

 

 

    

Don't forget the plastic bags and paper bags --- we need those too!
