LA GRANGE AREA FOOD PANTRY

Our Third Graders at St. John's are collecting chapel offerings for the month of September for La Grange Area Food Pantry. Throughout the school year, our class will purchase items from chapel offerings collected in September to donate to the food pantry.
You can help, too!

The Pantry is in need of regular sized canned goods that a family can use (not restaurant-sized containers) especially canned corn and canned beans, size 4 diapers, cereal, pasta, and non-food items which are not covered by Snap or Link cards. We will be collecting items at our next Meals To Go on Sunday, September 20, 2020 at 1:00 PM.

Each month we have a featured item to shop for. September’s featured item will be SHAMPOO. 

We look forward to serving God through our Food Pantry donations, and helping people in need in our community. Thank you!

BLOOD DRIVE THANK YOU!

St. John's sponsored an American Red Cross Blood drive on August 17th. Forty seven people donated blood and they collected 50 units of blood that can potentially save approximately 120 lives. Thank you to those who donated. Many of the donors were members of the La Grange area community. We will be hosting another blood drive late in the fall.
STORY STROLL UPDATE!

We had a great time celebrating this Back to School Season at our St. John's Story Stroll. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
