Southminster is a vital mission partner for the new community pantry at Grace Jordan Elementary School and during the first three months has already supplied more than nine (!) full grocery carts to the effort. Because local food banks are unable to assist the effort, virtually all pantry items have been sourced by our congregation. Thanks be to God for this gift of abundance, and the continued prayerful support of members and friends at Southminster.
Below is a list of ongoing items that will be needed. A shopping cart is available in the Narthex/Lobby to collect goods throughout the month. We will also make a special request for items and monetary donations on Communion Sundays, the first Sunday of the month. (If people want to make a monetary donation please indicate on the check memo “Grace Jordan Food Pantry”)
