Summer Food Service Program Need
Hands Across the Street: SFSP  
Columbia Presbyterian Church 
 

Donegal churches have an opportunity to support the work of Columbia's Hands Across the Street Ministries.  HAS is asking churches to have a trash bag Sunday. Size 30 and 39 gallon sizes are needed. The summer lunch program is producing abundant meals for children and their parents. A byproduct is lots of full trash cans of the inedible items that go with serving meals.
 
With the  children's lunches, community meals and shelter meals HAS served a total of 4,930 in June and are still expanding just in our Columbia Community.  Call David Powers 717-515-229 or Nan Best 717-515-7769 for general information.

Shoppers are asked to bring an item for the Solanco Food Bank (non-perishable) or a cash donation of any size will be welcomed.
 
We are hoping to gather up as many clothing items as possible before August 13 so they can be sorted and organized. If you have items to donate to this give-away, please contact Shirley Miller 717-786-3690 or call the church at 717-786-3402.
