Ever wonder what the grocery cart greeting you at the church entrance is all about?
Throughout the year, GCPC members and visitors can drop off food in the cart, and it will be taken to ABCCM for distribution to those in need. Summer donations are especially important; according to ABCCM Director Scott Rogers, "This time of year the demand goes up
because children are home from school and there's an influx of homeless people
on the streets." Rogers also says they're in need of basic staples, and church-organized food drives, such as ours, are often a big help.
So please, let’s keep our shopping cart filled. The whole family can be a part of this giving
ministry; make it a tradition to pick out items for donation on your grocery trips. Harry Summerlin makes a delivery to ABBCM
every week, so don’t worry about our cart getting too full!
Some of the basic staples needed are listed
below. Also, visit ABCCM’s website and look under Crisis Ministries to keep up with the
changing list, as needs vary depending on donations received.
Please contact Susie Daw at 253-3201 if
you have any questions.
