Mission | Giving from the Heart

Several times a year, members of the Waitsfield Church fill “Hungry Bags” with items currently needed at the MRV Community Pantry, our local food shelf.  Regular brown grocery bags are distributed with lists of needed items stapled to the outside. A couple of weeks later the food is brought forward (often over 40 bags full!), blessed and then the Hungry Bags are delivered to the food shelf. 

Although the MRV Community Pantry accepts all donations, the following list shows essentials we hope to collect on Sunday, February 18th:

WHAT IS NEEDED:

  • Protein drinks like Ensure

  • Hearty soups

  • Canned chicken

  • Canned tuna

  • Baked beans

  • Jarred tomatoes sauce

  • Shampoo

  • Toothpaste

  • Dish soap

  • Laundry detergent

  • Coffee

  • Diapers (all sizes - especially 4, 5, 6)

    After the church service on 2/18, we will accept your donations in the parking area of the church and you can pass your bags from your car to ours. (There's no need to carry them in and out of the church.)

    If you have any questions or need to make other arrangements for your donations, you may contact Diane Thompson at red3@gmavt.net or contact the Church office at 802-496-3065.

    Thank you for your support!
