The folks at the New Hope Food Pantry have alerted me to some items for which they have a special need. They are: men's underwear-boxer or brief under shorts in medium, large, and extra-large sizes and under shirts in the same variety of sizes. These items should be new and not gently worn. Men's socks are also in great need, one size fits all please, any color. These items can be placed in the collection bin marked "New Hope Food Pantry" in the wooden cabinet on the West wall of Fellowship Hall. Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness. We will collect these items until July 10th.
