Beginning March 8th and continuing until March 29th SJRUC is hosting its initial food drive for 2020 in support of the Region of Waterloo Food Bank. Collection stations will be set up in the usual locations within the church. Our three food drives, which took place in 2019, collected close to 1,000 pounds of food items, and it is hoped our efforts in 2020 will at least match the generosity our congregation exhibited last year.
Currently, the most needed food items are:
- Canned Fruit
- Stew, Chili & Soup
- Beans in Sauce
- Hot & Cold Cereal
- Canned Meat & Fish
- Pasta Sauce
- Dry Beans
- Rice
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Vegetables
While food is the top priority, the Food Bank will accept unopened bags of pet food and non-food items, such as personal care and hygiene products and cleaning supplies.
