Red, White, and YOU! This Independence Day, let’s celebrate by giving back! Use this patriotic color themed display to inspire your donations to Holy Family’s long-time partner, the Delaware Township Food Pantry. While the red, white, and blue items and packaging are fun, any unexpired/unused food or household items and monetary donations are gratefully accepted. Items can be brought to church on any upcoming Sunday and will be blessed during the July 4th post-fireworks campfire and Compline. #FaithinAction #CelebrateAndServe #RedWhiteAndYou “For I was hungry and you gave me food…” Matthew 25:35 CLICK HERE for the Delaware Township Food Pantry Amazon Wish List.
