Help Support Summer Lunch Programs

Hungry Time – Summer Lunch Support Requested

The Nurturing Our Neighbors Now Ministry Team is once again helping support the Food Bank with the summer feeding program. Every summer there are children and youth who are unable to access nutritious food for lunch when school is out. This program helps meet this need.

The Thurston County Food Bank delivers sack lunches to several locations in the county throughout the summer and is in need of the following items to help make this program successful:

• Ziplock sandwich bags

• 10” or larger flour tortillas

• Strawberry or grape jelly

• Ritz or Wheat Thins

• Sunbutter (NOT peanut butter)

• Refried beans (not spicy)

• Fruit cups

These items can be brought to the church throughout the summer and a special collection spot will be available most Sundays in the entryway. Regular donations of shelf stable foods are always welcome in the box just inside the door to Crary Hall. Additionally, you can provide ongoing support to the Thurston County Food Bank by going to their webpage and signing up for recurring monetary donations (www.tcfb.org/support-us). Thank you for your ongoing support to this important ministry of Good Shepherd.
