THE FOREST HILLS COMMUNITY 2008 FOOD DRIVE
in support of the
INTERFAITH HUNGER NETWORK OF QUEENS
The Weekend Of July 25-27, 2008

As ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Hunger never takes a vacation. Most of the rest of us do, and as a result, supplies in food pantries tend to get depleted. To combat this trend, St. Luke’s is once again participating in the Interfaith Hunger Network of Queens’ annual effort to keep local food pantries well stocked. Local churches and synagogues have teamed up to collect food at their services and at neighborhood supermarkets. We need your help in a number of ways:

1. Sign up to work at our table at the Associated Supermarket on 64th Road just off 108th St. (easily accessible by bus). We plan to be there from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. We need at least two people for each of four 2-hour shifts. We also need volunteer drivers to bring the table and boxes there at 9:00 and back to the church at 5:00. Sign-up sheets will be available at coffee hour, or e-mail Joanna Guinther at jbg23@verizon.net.

2. Donate food at one of the collection sites or at church on Sunday, July 27th. Most needed items are: beef stew, corned beef hash, hot cereals, powdered milk, 46 oz. cans of fruit juice, peanut butter, tuna fish, canned fruit and vegetables, baby food, soups, spaghetti sauce, sugar, lentils and beans, rice, noodles, macaroni, tea bags, jello pudding.

3. Help deliver the food to the Church in the Gardens right after our service on Sunday the 27th. We need able bodies and drivers to load and unload what we hope will be a huge take.

Fresh Foods and items in glass containers cannot be accepted
