More of our neighbors are experiencing something many never thought possible in our plentiful area...hunger. Over 120,000 people in greater St. Louis region need the help of food pantries and feeding programs for their families. Many are coming for the first time, and almost half that receive food are children.
Operation Food Search is sponsoring food drives throughout the month of July. On July 17-31, Lafayette Park UMC will hold a food drive to benefit The Bridge, which provides meals and support to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.
Please take this shopping list with you on your next trip to the grocery store, and pick up a few items for The Bridge (large-sized cans are appreciated). Baskets for your donations will be placed inside both church entrances. Have you ever regretted an act of generosity? Your donations will make a difference--thank you!
