Just Bring One Food Drive | November 8, 22, 29, and December 6
We're going to prove that small things do make a big difference.
Our KidsRock Closet emergency food shelf is running extremely low, and the need among the families we serve continues to grow. While the KidsRock Closet ministry isn't a full-service food pantry, we want to help families leave with a few extra staples that can supplement their children's meals and make the week a little easier.
We're making it very simple to help. Starting November 8, we're launching Just Bring One, a four-week food drive challenge for our Granite City family. Each Sunday, we'll ask every individual or family in our congregation to bring just ONE item from a short, specific shopping list.
One can of tuna. One box of pasta. One can of beans, veggies, or fruit. One bag of rice. That's it!
You might wonder whether one item really makes a difference, but imagine what happens when dozens of individuals and families each bring one item. What feels like a small contribution can add up to shelves stocked with food and families receiving a little extra help when they need it.
You don't have to do everything. Choose one week or participate in all four.
Here's the weekly lineup:
November 8: Bring one can of protein (tuna, chicken, etc.)
November 15: Church retreat - no collection.
November 22: Bring one box of dried pasta
November 29: Bring one can of beans, vegetables, pasta sauce, or fruit
December 6: Bring one bag or box of rice (any kind)
Let's see what we can accomplish together. Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors, one item at a time.
