Theme for May 8 - Canned Food Sunday - to help fill 2x4 boxes. The following items are
needed to complete more boxes: dry soup mix, evaporated milk, powdered milk, & canned
soup. For your consideration - we have many people come into the office who are transient Holocaust Remembrance Sunday

as peanut butter, crackers, meats that do not require cooking, Lunchables & other items that
do not require cooking. Thank you for your continued support of this ministry.
