The members of the Christian Outreach Committee thank all of you who contributed food and money to the annual Thanksgiving Food Collection. The pandemic did not dampen your response to the needs of the Westminster Community Food Pantry. Your generosity was greatly appreciated!
We are well aware that the need for food at the pantry does not end with just one successful food collection. It is a year-round need.
A few years ago John Aalto shared an idea to address that ongoing need with a Reverse Advent Calendar. The idea is you gather one food item a day during December up until Christmas Day. Place your items in a box or a basket and then donate your food collection to the Westminster Food Pantry. Several of us have participated in this fun activity during the past few years, thanks to John! The Christian Outreach Committee would like to invite you to share in this Advent activity in support of the year-round needs of the Westminster Food Pantry. It is a small way of caring for our neighbors who have less. Thank you again for your continued support of the mission of the Christian Outreach Committee.
