Red Wagon Food Drive
We would like to remind everyone about our RED WAGON program. All the food gifts you donate so generously go to Council of Social Concern’s food Pantry in Woburn. With SNAP benefits being cut back even further again recently, the need for food is constantly growing.
Please remember them when you are next out shopping for food; one or two extra items that you can purchase and donate each week can truly make a big difference for these families. The RED WAGON is located in the hallway across from the office. The other RED WAGON is stationed at the vestibule on Sunday mornings.
We know how generou
s our community is, and the members of the Mission and Outreach group are so fortunate to be a part of this congregation, spreading the love you share across the community. Thank you all so much.
