Presbyterian Women Fall Food Drive 2024
The Presbyterian Women are sponsoring a Fall Food Drive from Sunday, October 13 – to Sunday, October 20. The food will be given to Jefferson Presbyterian Church Food Bank, a USDA-certified food bank. The food is distributed twice a month—the first and third Saturdays, servicing between 120 and 140 clients each Saturday. This is the only food bank in the area that is open on Saturday. Donations come mainly from Second Harvest with other churches, groups, and individuals contributing.
Boxes will be provided to receive your donations. Should you choose to make a monetary donation, please make the check out to the church and indicate that it is for the Food Drive.
