Thank you to everyone who supported the All Saints Food Pantry on Pasta Sunday (April) and Cereal Sunday (May). When I delivered the food last month, I met Bruce Ross, the mobile pantry director, and got a little tour. The need for food in our area is great and the Pantry volunteers are enthusiastically working to meet the need. Over 1,000 families are served each month.

Our "food focus" for June is canned meat and fish (tuna, salmon, etc.) and boxed macaroni and cheese. Please add one or more of these items to your cart when you shop. Bruce said that they never have enough canned protein and mac-n-cheese is always popular. Of course, most any non-perishable food is appreciated! Please bring the food with you to worship on Sunday, June 4, or drop it off during office hours on Monday-Thursday.

Volunteers are needed! Please fill out the form below.

• to help check expiration dates and deliver food to the pantry on the Thursday morning after Food Sunday.

• to help with the mobile food pantry on Tuesday afternoons, bringing food to area apartment complexes.

Many thanks to all in FUMCAH who care for those who are food insecure. Our ministries of mercy do not solve the worldwide hunger problem, but they do feed hungry people. And people do not "eat in the long run;" in many ways, we all need our daily bread.
