News from the Food Ministry for the Month of May

By Chris Piatek, for the Food Ministry

Our next food drive, on behalf of the Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC), will be on May 4, 11, and 18.

Located in Bristol, Pennsylvania, BCOC’s mission is to reduce poverty and partner with the community to provide vital services that help families achieve stability and independence. The non-profit connects people with the resources they need to thrive through five core program areas: Housing, Food, Tax Preparation, Weatherization, and Economic Mobility.

Please consider donating any requested food products on any of the Sundays noted above: shelf-stable milk, cereal, canned vegetables, canned protein such as tuna or chicken, canned soups, pasta, and pasta sauce. 

A labeled bin will be available to receive donations in the lobby starting on May 4th.

On the last Sunday of the food drive, May 18, the Food Ministry team will host coffee hour. We will have printed information available about our work, and there will be an opportunity for small group conversations. If you would like to learn more about our work or would like to participate in some way, look for team members on that Sunday.
