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 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 9th:

WHAT IS NEEDED:

• White rice;

• Hygiene products;

• Dish washing liquid;

• Clothes washing detergent (smaller size good from “all for a dollar stores”)

• Coffee;

• Real fruit juices;

• Protein drinks like boost (appreciated but expensive);

• Hearty soups;

• Pasta;

• Pasta sauce;

• Condiments;

• Cooking oil;

• Other items needed for baking;

• Canned chicken;

• Toilet paper
  
  After the church service on 2/9, 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!
