Grace Jordan Greatest Needs – August 2024

Did you know that about 98% of the items stocked in the Grace Jordan Community Pantry are supplied by members and friends of Southminster? A standard shopping list is always available in the narthex/lobby for you to take with you on your next trip to the grocery store. In addition, the Grace Jordan social worker will occasionally share their greatest needs with us: items that are running low (or completely out!).

As of the end of August, here are the greatest needs:

Food Items: Jelly, Flour, Sugar, Baking Soda, Baking Powder

Non-Food Items: Laundry Soap, Dish Soap, Stain Remover, Toilet Paper, Combs/Brushes, Hair Ties, Dryer Sheets, Shampoo, Conditioner, Deodorant
