Trillium’s Summer Food Bank Challenge 2022
Once again Trillium Church will be helping the Cambridge Food Bank with our annual Summer Food Bank Challenge. This year it will be very different and very challenging! But Trillium’s Social Concerns & Outreach Team know we can do it!

Brian Hershey volunteers at the Food Bank every Monday. He asked what one item on the list of Most Wanted Items they would like us to collect this year. The answer was “Nutritious Snacks for Children”. One thing they stressed was, NO APPLESAUCE!

They also asked us to collect nutritious snacks for kids, and at the end of the summer deliver them to a school in our community. SC&O has chosen to deliver the snacks we collect to Parkway School.
