Daily Bread soup kitchen is now serving sack lunches at New Covenant Fellowship while they find dedicated space. The following are opportunities for us to help them on Tuesday, September 29.
OPTION 1: Sandwiches (Feed 70)
- Sandwiches with lunch meat and cheese. No toppings. (A packet of mustard or mayo is served with each one.) Place each in a sandwich bag.
- The food should be prepared in Wesley’s kitchen and everyone should wear plastic gloves while handling food. When completed, pack them back in the bread wrappers and deliver them to Ellen McDowell’s house to be refrigerated overnight.
OPTION 2: Fruit, Salty Items, Desserts (Feed 70)
- Fruit, of course, does not have to be packaged.
- All these items, if donated, should be packaged: cookies, candy, small bags of chips, Fritos, etc.
- Bottled drinks: gal size punch, juice, cider, etc. We can use nothing that has been opened.
OPTION 3: Hygiene items (travel size)Shampoo
- Deodorant
- tooth brushes
- tooth paste
- razors
- shaving cream
- soap
- packages of men's socks.
We will fine tune all the details on September 22. If you have any thoughts beforehand, please post them below.

I like the idea of making sandwiches. It's really useful, and we can visit with each other while we do it. Also of buying hygiene supplies. Is there some place besides WalMart we could get lots of these things? I mean, rather than buy out the local Walgreen's supply of travel shampoo, is there a Sam's Club or something we could go to?
If we need a project for November, here's one:
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
FUMC Friendship Circle would like to invite the congregation to participate in the Shoebox Christmas Gift Project. These boxes are sent to children worldwide who would otherwise not receive any presents. It involves packing a shoebox with toys, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, school supplies, stickers, sunglasses, tee-shirts, candy, flip-flops, etc. for a child between the ages of 2-14. (Please no glass items or chocolate) Donations of $7 per box for shipping are also needed. The boxes will be collected the week of Nov. 15-21. For more information contact Cheryl Lum cherylulum@yahoo.com [I've asked her if there's anything else we need to know.]
