Help The Chattanooga Food Bank Meet Increased Demand
St. Paul's is holding a food drive to help the Chattanooga Area Food Bank fill emergency food boxes for families. Rising unemployment and families displaced by recent flooding are stretching food distribution at the Food Bank which transfers around 10,000 pounds of food per month. Foods particularly needed are canned vegetables: green beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, and canned fruit. Collection bins are near church entrances. Thanks for sharing your abundance with those in need.
