Caring Hands Food Pantry Needs
For the month of August, we are asking for pancake mix.
During this time of the COVID-19 outbreak, help is needed more than ever as people are laid off, quarantined or needed at home to care for the sick or for children who are out of school.
Here are the various ways you can get your donations to Caring Hands:- Donations can be left in the parish hall entry. This door will be unlocked between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday-Friday for deliveries and pick-up of items.
- You can put donations in the Food Pantry collection box in the gathering space when you come to Mass.
- You can drop donations in the barrels at Hy-Vee or Fareway in Altoona or Pleasant Hill..
- You can also drop off donations directly at Caring Hands.
For I was hungry and you gave me to eat.
Matthew 25:35
