We are seeking donations to fill the Easter Breakfast Baskets for these families in our community who don’t always have enough to eat. We are collecting cereal, oatmeal, coffee, tea, peanut butter, boxed milk, pancake mix, and syrup.

All food items should be brought in by April 7.
On Palm Sunday, April 14, your are invited to join us for worship and following the service we will place the food donations in all 40 baskets and prepare them for distribution. Please join us in this effort. Thank you
