Pack the Pews Food Shelf Month

March Food Share Campaign It’s Food Share Month from Sunday March 1 – Sunday April 12th! We are once again asking congregations in our area to join us in the effort to support our local food shelf and help provide struggling individuals with the most basic human need – food. In 2019, we helped 491 local seniors and adults, and 380 children (unduplicated numbers) that suffer from hunger and food insecurity – many who must choose from paying rent, buying gas, or buying food. Your contributions – no matter how small – help us to wage the war against hunger. People are struggling and your compassion and generosity will help us meet this basic need. This year it will cost us approximately $70,000 for food. The vast majori-ty of our monies come to us in the March Campaign. Remember – 100% of your donation is spent for food! ALL overhead costs are covered by proceeds from Tossed & Found Boutique. Please send donations to Longville Area Food Shelf, Inc. @ PO Box 308, Longville, MN. 56655 On behalf of the many hungry kids, seniors and families that you will help, THANK YOU!
