During October we are asking you to donate to the Eureka Area Food Pantry. You can bring food to the Pantry or the Church or make a monetary donation.
The Eureka Area Food Pantry serves residents of School District 140 (Eureka, Goodfield, Congerville). Just a few years ago our average number of families served per month was 68. This number has increased greatly. In August of this year we served 125 families and in September we served 128. Many of our clients are temporary – just until they can get a job and get back on their feet. Others are long-term – senior citizens, disabled people, etc. The Pantry is open one morning per week – Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11:30. We rely totally on donations of food and money plus a couple of small grants.
We take donations year round, but we have chosen October to highlight the constant need to our congregation. There is a Food Pantry tub in the narthex and one outside the church office. If you make a monetary donation, be sure that it is marked for the Food Pantry. Thank you in advance for caring.
