Attention Gardeners! Food Bank
August and September
The Woodbury Food Bank is accepting vegetable, fruit and herb donations from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays during August and September. 

Donations should be delivered to the Woodbury Food Bank, located at the rear of the LaBonne’s shopping plaza. Local families facing economic hardships in meeting their basic nutritional needs benefit greatly from home gardeners’ produce donations. 

There is also a need for juice boxes, canned corn beef hash, and canned chili, but certainly all donations are welcome. More than 140 families rely on Woodbury Community Services for food. Thank you!
All-church Holiday Festival Saturday, November 23, 2019
It’s time to begin planning for the North Church Holiday Festival ~ WE NEED DONATIONS, so take this opportunity to clean out your closets or attic and drop donations in the church office. 

This year the committee has decided to eliminate books; however, the Book Cellar, located behind the Woodbury Library, will gladly take your donations. Also, please – no heavy equipment, electronic or computer equipment, or large furniture. Small furniture items are welcome.
  
If you would like to help, please contact Nancy or Bob Grasing: 203-263-5953.  Sign-up sheets will be available in the hall early in October so please plan to come and pitch in!
