Help Fight Childhood Hunger in Florence County
Did you know that 1 in 5 children in Florence County go hungry, especially on weekends? Together, we can make a difference.
This January, we are supporting Help 4 Kids, a local nonprofit dedicated to feeding hungry children in our community. They provide weekend food bags and school food pantries for children in need. To help them, we will be collecting Vienna sausages throughout the month of January.
Why Vienna Sausages?
Vienna sausages are an excellent non-perishable food item that’s easy to prepare, full of protein, and can help feed a child over the weekend when school meals are not available.
How You Can Help:
Donate Vienna Sausages: Look for the collection bins starting January 1st in the Commons and The Well.
Order Online: For your convenience, use the link below to access our Amazon Wishlist and have Vienna sausages delivered directly to the church office. Click here!
Every can you donate brings us one step closer to ensuring no child in Florence County goes hungry.
Thank you for your generosity and support in this important cause. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of local children!
