Thanksgiving Food Drive Campaign 2024

Now that fall is around the corner the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive for the Regen Marketplace Food Bank has begun.   

Your donations can be dropped off before Sunday services on September 22nd, 29th and October 6th at Emmanuel United Church. 

How to Donate:

1. You can donate either by dropping off food items (see list below) or by giving a financial donation.
2. Regen is able to purchase groceries in bulk at discounted costs, so you may want to consider giving a monetary donation in place of purchasing grocery items yourself. We are calling this the Power of Purchase. The list of food items below purchased at a lower end store would cost you about $85. Regen could use the same $85 to purchase many more items.
3. Financial donations can also be used to support the Food Recovery Program which picks up donations from grocery stores, bakeries and other food processing businesses. See Outreach presentation board in hall during Sip-N-Talk for more details.

If you wish to make a financial contribution you can do so by envelope or on-line indicating it is toward Regen Food Drive.

The foods most in need at the food bank are:

• Pasta Sauce
• Can Veggies & Fruits
• Hot & Cold Cereal
• Cooking Oil
• Pancake Batter / Flour & Syrup
• Canned Meat – Tuna, Salmon, Ham & Chix
• Tea Bags

Thank you for helping those in need in our community. Your support is very much appreciated.
