Thurmont Food Bank in Demand of Food
August 8, 2009
The Thurmont Food Bank is in demand of food. There are families who are depending on us to be able to eat. During the months of June and July we provided food for almost 700 people and that means we no sooner get food on the shelves before it is given out. Please pass the word to anyone who can contribute food that we could really use some help because donations are way down this summer. Non-perishable items can be dropped off at the Town Hall or at Harriet Chapel Episcopal Church which is 2 miles south of Thurmont on Catoctin Furnace Road. Perishable and non-perishable items can be dropped off at the Food Bank at St. John’s Lutheran Church on 15 N. Church Street on Tuesday from 5:30-7:30p.m. or Friday from 3:00-5:00p.m. These are the items we need at this time: spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, soup, fresh produce, frozen or canned meat, eggs, cheese, 1/2 gallons of milk, canned vegetables and fruit, peanut butter, jelly, baked beans, Hamburger Helper, tea, coffee, sugar, laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo and snacks for kids.
This summer The Thurmont Ministerium which oversees the Food Bank and an Emergency Needs Assistance Program has been overwhelmed with requests for aid. If anyone can make a financial contribution to help families in crisis, please send a check to P.O. Box 74, Thurmont, MD. 21788
Thank you so very much for any help you can give.
Sincerely,
Pastor Sally
Food Bank Coordinator
