Northminster Presbyterian Church
Thanksgiving Food Drive
It’s time for our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. We are asking each family to purchase the items on the list below and place them in the box & bag provided. Your donation will provide foods that can make a yummy Thanksgiving meal, as well as everyday food staples.
Boxes & bags will be available for pick up starting Sunday, October 26 in the lobby. We ask that your food donation be returned to church by Sunday, November 8 so it can distributed before Thanksgiving. If you are unable to donate all of the food items, please just provide what you can. Questions? Please contact Lisa Lewis at 309-253-1916.
