Non-Perishable
Food Drive to benefit Frederick Food Bank
The
Frederick Food Bank is very low on supplies at this time. The Frederick Food
Bank is the primary source of food for refugees from the Katrina Hurricane who
come to Frederick County and are placed in transitional housing. According to
Rev. Brian Scott of the Religious Coalition, so far approximately 15-20 families
have relocated to Frederick County and are living in transitional housing. More
are expected. The Food Bank also provides food and supplies for local families
in need.
Through
the month of October, in conjunction with Missions Month, Christ United
Methodist Church will be sponsoring a non-perishable food and supplies drive.
The Religious Coalition, operators of the Food Bank, have long been supported by
CUMC.
A
list of requested food and other supplies is below. Bring your contributions to
church on Sunday morning beginning Sunday Sept 18th. Any amount will help.
