Looking for a great way to stretch your food dollars?

There is no limit on the number of packages each participant can order. Packages range from $10 for the vegetarian pack with fresh fruits and vegetables to $22 for the mega-meat and family packs with non-perishable staples and canned goods. You can save up to 50% on your monthly groceries. Consider ordering an extra package to share with a neighbor in need.

Giving Goes Green
Electronic giving provides convenience for frequent check writers and donation consistency. A less frequently discussed benefit of electronic giving is its positive impact on the environment. An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing and disposal of paper checks. As you consider the payment method you use to make your regular offering, we hope that you will think about the unique connection between financial stewardship and environmental stewardship. Forms to sign up for electronic giving can be found HERE, in the narthex near the bulletin boards, or in the parish office.
