Annual Father's Day Funds for Food Drive
Sunday, June 18th is Fathers Day & the Society will be holding their Annual Funds For Food Drive to help the less fortunate in our community through the summer months.
Because storage space in the church for groceries is at a premium, they are asking for cash donations which can be used to purchase the required food supplies when needed. Funds are also required to assist with rent payments, utility bills, moving expenses & prescriptions.
This year has been the busiest in many years with inflation causing high food & gas prices & higher rents & utility bills impacting severely on needy families. The Society has spent $10.390 more on food & food gift cards from January through May 2023 than the same period in 2022.
They are looking to raise $10,000 to assist them in handling the busy summer months when many of us are away on our well earned vacations.
They realize it is a difficult time for all of us, but if you can see your way to making a tax deductible donation to this worthy cause it would be most appreciated. Donation envelopes are available in the pews, your can drop off a cheque payable to the Society at the church office or donate below. Thank you for your support.
