Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries

GWCM needs our help! Donations are especially needed at this time due to a continued high number of clients. What an impact Christ Church could make if each family set a goal to bring 1 (one) items to church each week.

The pantry is providing food to many more clients and needs the following items on a regular basis: Sauce for pasta, jelly, cereal, tuna, canned meats, pancake mix and syrup. Items can be put brought in on Sundays. Thank you.
