Outreach
The Highland Hamper Returns

Our collection of non-perishable food items for our neighbors on Highland Avenue has resumed. Please check the sales while you are doing your own grocery shopping and put extra items in your cart for Highland. We need everything - vegetables, soup, peanut butter, jelly, "one box" prepared meals, etc. We will also give a bi-monthly suggestion of what to bring: for the next two Sundays, we will concentrate on pasta and tomato products. The Hamper is located in The Gurley Room. Thank you in advance for your support.
