ST. PAUL'S FOOD BASKET NEWS

About St. Paul's Food Basket

St. Paul's Food Basket is the largest outreach program operated by Grace Church. It involves approximately thirty parishioners (and a few other volunteers) each month. We give out 130 bags of food to needy folks at St. Paul's Church in Camden every Friday morning, year round.

We have many opportunities for volunteer help. These include:

• picking up food at the Food Bank in Pennsauken;
• helping unload our once-a-month delivery of USDA food;
•  bread pick-up on Tuesdays;
• bagging food on Tuesday mornings;
• and,  handing out the food bags on Friday mornings.

We try to limit each volunteer to only a few hours each month and only when they are available. We always need volunteers.

We need everyone's financial support since we have to buy much of the food we give away. A check to Grace Church directed to the St. Paul's Fool Basket is always most appreciated.

Canned Vegetables and Fruit - We are having a difficult time getting canned vegetables and fruit from the food bank. Therefore, we are asking all our parishioners to help out by bringing a few cans with them to Church each week. There will be a box for this purpose in the parish house and in the Church.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
