MISSIONS FOCUS
Holiday Activities Supporting the GE Food Pantry
With the community’s support the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry has distributed more than 75,000 bags of groceries so far this year. Since its move in August it has provided more than 250 bags of groceries per day.
To help meet needs during the upcoming holiday season, Joseph and the youth are distributing door hangers this month; and envelopes will be available at church.
The Pantry’s 2023 Advent Calendar could be a fun way to involve children and families by collecting one essential grocery item each day during Advent and then providing the items to the Pantry.
