Please bring a nonperishable food item (or more) on Sunday. High heating bills make this a difficult time of year for many people. A food box makes a real difference to someone who is hungry. This outreach was well supported last time and I'm confident that we can do it again. There isn't any better way to show God's love than to feed someone who is hungry. It reassures them that someone cares and is an ideal way to honor Christ.
There are a few things to remember when buying nonperishable food:
Peanut butter
Canned meats
Powdered or canned milk
Cereal
Mac and cheese (Please do not buy the kind that you mix with milk and butter. The recipient may not have the extra items. The mac and cheese with the foil pouches is a better choice.)

A can of spaghetti sauce and pasta is a meal for a family. Cereal and canned or powered milk go together. Large cans of canned pasta may also provide a meal for a family. A box of meal helper will only help if there is some type of meat to go with it. Canned side items are always fine.
Jones Chapel UMC food pantry also has a personal care closet. Needs include:
Shampoo
Soap
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Ladies personal items
Thanks for distributing Christ's love to others! See you on Sunday.
