Wayne Interfaith Network Needs Food Donations!

WIN Food Collection

I got this email from Kerry who is trying to fill the food pantry for the Wayne Interfaith Network (WIN). 
I know this email goes out a few times a year and the people of Wayne always come through for them.  Please help donate food for our neighbors in need.
They also accept cash or gift cards in smaill denominations of $10.00 to $25.00. 
Thank you,
Ruby

Hello all...as most of you know I work at the main office of Packanack
Community Church on Lake Drive East.  There is a food pantry here run by WIN (Wayne Interfaith Network).

They have been trying to, "by word of mouth", get the message out that their donations are running very low this summer (most summers) and any food donations would be greatly appreciated. I looked in the pantry and they aren't kidding that the shelves are pretty bare. Sadly though, the number of "Wayne Families" in need of food has only increased in the last six months.

Any of these items that you could donate would help so much!
Please consider it.
(It can be brought to the church Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. when I am there. Single tan door at front of church is best door to enter building at for this).

Thanks everyone!
Kerry Ficker
