We also want to make you aware of a deal on eggs at Kroger(see photo - you must clip the digital coupon) We thought it would be nice to collect eggs from now through the afternoon of March 30th for distribution that night. If you are bringing eggs in, please be sure to come when the church is open so that they can be placed directly in the refrigerator. There’s generally someone at the church from 9-3 Monday through Thursday. Please do not leave any eggs in the outside bin. 

Just a reminder, we will be closed for distribution Easter Monday, April 6th. The office will be closed all of Easter week so partner churches should hold drop offs for the week of April 13th.

Another one of our fabulous partners supporting those in need.Good Shepherd United Methodist Church

As food insecurity continues to rise, we are grateful for the many ways that Good Shepherd supports our communities' food needs. The United Methodist Men offered a fabulous dinner and time of fellowship at their recent Annual Steak Dinner. Their generosity continued when they announced on Sunday a $ 1,000 donation to the Welborne Community Food Pantry! Thank you, UMM, for providing resources for one of our community partners who last night served 72 families representing 314 individuals.
