Because of YOUR generosity, the shopping cart was indeed filled to the brim with personal care and cleaning supplies dedicated during the March 1st offering. Highlighting such products as Smith Church’s donation to the Food Pantry is making a difference.

Who could have predicted that selecting such items as our contribution would prove to be so timely ? With the novel coronavirus the current event, these products are even more important.
Our April 5th collection and dedication will still qualify for this year’s annual fund-raising campaign by the Food Pantry. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated!

The Food Pantry is operating differently during the pandemic. Any donation deliveries can be delivered between 4:30 and 5pm on Tuesdays. Please bring them to the back door on the loading dock, knock on the door to get the attention of the volunteers, return to your vehicle and the volunteer will pick up the donation. For distribution of food, the window facing the bank will be where clients drive up to check in and then are able to pick up the bags on the front porch. The pantry will be open from 5-7pm. This temporary system allows for safe social distancing, especially as many clients have compromised immune systems.

As we will not be gathering together for worship on Palm/Communion Sunday, our monthly donation offering can instead be a check made out to the Hillsboro District Food Pantry at 3 Church St.
