Today is the first Project Feed Sunday of 2011.
The first Sunday of every month is Project Feed Sunday. Project Feed is an emergency food bank serving Portland and supported by many area churches. All are invited to bring canned goods and other basic necessities to St. Ansgar for donation to Project Feed.
Please limit canned goods to items that are easily prepared (canned soup for example rather than canned pumpkin). Helpful nonfood items include large diapers, toilet paper (individually wrapped), tissues, toothpaste and toothbrushes, dish soap, laundry soap, sanitary napkins and tampons, shampoo, and bar soap.
On the first Sunday of every month the donations are brought to the altar during the offering and after the service they are transported to the food bank which is housed in Woodfords Congregational Church. St. Ansgar also accepts cash donations on Project Feed's behalf. Members need only designate on their offering envelopes which portion of their offering they would like to go to Project Feed.
If you have any questions about Project Feed visit their website. For those who would like to volunteer for Project Feed through St. Ansgar, contact the pastor. He can put you in touch with a few members who volunteer regularly.
