The John Ford First Sunday Food Drive supports our Outreach Ministry through monetary contributions as well as donated items that can be used for our meal service or distributed directly to our patrons.
To make our food drive a success, we are requesting specific food items that are in high demand. These should be unopened items with a longer shelf life (far from expiration dates).
We are looking for: Canned meats and fish, Canned or dry lentils and beans, Rice, Pasta, Barley, Oats, Nut butters (peanut, almond, soy, etc), Canned or jarred stew, Canned or jarred pasta sauce, Canned vegetables and fruit.
We are beginning to collect items for the winter season, especially Adult Winter Socksw, Toques, and Gloves/Mittens, for the Christmas lunch gift bags.
We will be collecting these donations before and after Mass on the weekend of November 2-3. As always, cash donations are accepted to support the bulk purchasing of these items.
