Emergency Assistance Center

The Emergency Assistance Center provides a vital need for our community. In July 2017, they served 891 individuals consisting of 281 households, 165 senior citizens, and 297 children.
Their current needs are:
           canned fruit                pancake mix
           paper towels              baby needs (baby food,
           cereal                         Gerber formula, newborn
                                              diapers, baby wipes)

As a reminder, donations placed in the cart in the fellowship hall must be non-perishable. Items do not get taken to the center every week so perishable items will become rotten.

Also please look at expiration dates if you are cleaning out your cupboards. The center can use an item if it is only a month or two past the expiration date, however, if it is more than this, it must be tossed.

Your generous giving is so much appreciated.
