For the Month of September, we are collecting CANNED TUNA and CANNED CHICKEN. Please place items in the food barrels in the main hallway outside the parish hall.
Special Outreach Needs – Food Drive
The Southeast Gwinnett Food Co-op has asked all their supporting churches to hold a Special Food Drive in the Month of September. The state-run GNAP program (Georgia Nutrition Assistance Program) ended on Aug 31st. This program offered food products for purchase to all the food banks for pennies on the dollar. The co-ops will now have to stock their shelves by purchasing food wholesale. The co-op normally distributes 100 lbs. of food to the client households each month. That amount will have to be reduced to 40 lbs. The more donations the churches can raise will be a huge benefit to the Co-op. For those wishing to donate by check, please make the check payable to St. Matthew’s and put Food Co-op in the memo section.
Please support the food bank during this immediate need in keeping their shelves stocked!
