7:00 PM
LAST SATURDAY, February 25, 9:00 - 10:30 AM

Come to the main lobby of the church.
We offer non-perishable groceries that could last about a week.
You may receive food every 30 days.
Our church receives food through the
government program: TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program).
To receive TEFAP food, you need to show a current photo ID AND one
document that shows you receive government assistance
or that your income is low or your financial situation causes you to cut
back on food.
We
also have canned food brought to the church by our congregation and
community.
You DO NOT need any form of ID or proof of eligibility to receive
non-government food.
If you have questions, call Cathy at 410-823-3689 during the business
hours Monday-Thursday.
