FREMONT- During this challenging time, many people are facing financial struggles and with The Table not being open, there is a tremendous need for food and other essentials. The Salem Lutheran Outreach Committee recently met and conferred with Robin Ritter of Uniquely Yours to determine a way to meet the needs of the community.
Salem Lutheran will be distributing pre-packed bags for families in need on the last Saturday of the month from 9-10 am or while supplies last.
To help make those pre-packed bags, Salem is hosting two drop-off donation times on Wednesday, June 17th, and June 24th for non-perishable items.
They ask that you bring these items to the Common Grounds Building during the specific drop-off hours. Please check the expiration dates of all donation items (expired items will be rejected).
Items Needed:
- Toilet Paper
- Potato Chips
- Tuna
- Mac and Cheese
- Canned Vegetables
- Fruit Cups
- Granola Bars
- Peanut Butter
- Jam or Jelly
- Cereal
- Spaghetti
- Pasta with meat sauce
Drop Off Times at Common Grounds Building:
- June 17
- 10 am – 12 pm
- 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
- June 24
- 10 am – 12 pm
- 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Volunteers are needed to help fill bags on Friday, June 26, at 4 pm and to help distribute the bags on Saturday, June 27, at 9:00 am.
Salem Lutheran is planning to have this food distribution event happen each month. They ask that you please plan to pick up a few extra items on your grocery shopping trips.
