NewsThe outline of a brown shopping bag shows our goal of 2000 pounds at the top and 8 blocks at the bottom representing our progress each month so far. The September delivery of 60 pounds brings us to a total of 1069 pounds so far this year.

On the first Sunday of each month, you’re invited to help feed our neighbors by supporting Urban Ministries of Wake County’s food pantry. Contributions of items on UM’s “most wanted” list are welcome along with monetary donations through the nonprofit’s web site.  Print a copy of the list here.

For more information about this ministry, please contact Merrilee Jacobson (via Breeze or office.cucc@gmail.com).
