We will be helping Meals On Wheels Atlanta restock their food pantry. Meals On Wheels’ pantry program serves as a critical stop-gap for emergency situations. Pantry supplies also provide for seniors who want to continue cooking and preparing foods in the home. Pantry deliveries contain a month-long supply of dry goods.
Each day of Lent, as you collect items listed into the box / basket in your home, think of the ways you are loving your neighbor. Even when we can’t be together, we can still care for our siblings in Christ. On Easter (April 9) celebrate our risen Lord by reflecting on what you have collected. It is not just a box of food – it is a message of hope and love that is delivered to seniors in need.
Bring to the church office the days after Easter (April 9-18) and we will deliver Trinity’s food donations to Meals On Wheels. Let us come together and fill the shelves of the Meals on Wheels Food Pantry! (If you would like to participate but cannot deliver to the church, please let Lucy Strong know and we will arrange to pick up your items from you.)
