Social Concerns Announcements:

Our 10th Annual “HAVE A HEART FOR HUNGER” campaign will kick off on February 1, and continue throughout the month in support of the Washington County Food Pantry.  Here are the categories we are targeting for the FLC food ingathering each week throughout the month:

Week 1 Box Week                                                                                                      

Week 2 Bag and Package Week                                                                                  

Week 3 Cans, Jars, and Containers Week                                                                 

Week 4 Miscellaneous Toiletries Week (individual toothbrushes, bar soap, toilet tissue)

We will have a grocery cart and/or plastic bins available at a convenient location to collect these items, which will be delivered to W.C.F.P. and weighed after each weekend’s collection.  Our goal for this collection is 600 pounds.  Monetary gifts are also invited, which can be taken to the office.  You will receive updates after each week’s collection, making it possible to track our progress toward this goal.      

We will also be involving the community again this year with a special collection day at Family Fare on Saturday, February 12, 9:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M.  When you come that day during those hours you will be greeted by a friendly face or two who will hand you a flyer that notes the most urgent items needed by our Washington County Food Pantry. As you proceed with your shopping you will notice signs at the items on the flyer you have been handed to grab your attention.  Then, when you get through the check-out counter, you will notice more eager faces with bodies ready to collect the items which you have purchased specifically for the W.C.F.P.,  and  packing them for later delivery to the Food Pantry.  You may also donate cash or checks there which will be gratefully received, since the Pantry is able to buy food at wholesale prices and can make your shopping dollars go further.  Our goal for this collection is l,500 pounds. 

Please note there is both a plastic and a wooden Receptacle for gifts to the WASHINGTON COUNTY FOOD PANTRY are available to receive your food donations at FLC at any time!
