St. Luke's Food Drive

Saturday, April 3 - during Communion Pick Up

10 - 11am St. Luke's Parking Lot

St. Luke's will collect food for the Food Bank again on Saturday, April 3. This is a simple and important way to make sure that people in our community are cared for and fed. You may donate in one of two ways:

• Leave food in the church parking lot when you pick up communion Saturday the 3rd between 10 and 11am.

• Sign up for communion delivery on April 3 and leave your donation outside your front door for your communion driver to pick up.

The best non-perishable foods to donate:

1. canned beans

2. dry beans

3. peanut butter, or other nut butters

4. rolled oats

5. canned fruit in juice, not in light or heavy syrup

6. canned vegetables, with no or low-sodium

7. low-sodium soups w/protein

8. canned tuna in water

 Additional tips:

• Canned goods with pop-top lids are better than canned goods that require a can opener.

• Avoid foods packaged in glass.

• Do not donate foods that are past the expiration date.

 Because of you, someone will eat today.
