Did you know that the Stock the Shelves team stocks, organizes, and distributes food for 55 families on the third Saturday of every month? This ministry provides milk, eggs, frozen chicken, and nonperishable food items costing about $2200 in total to help supplement household grocery needs. Our families also appreciate special donations like your gifts of diapers in June. This mission is made possible entirely by your extra-mile giving through Lenten Missions Offerings or individual sponsorship. Thank you to our many current sponsors and individual donations of materials and financial support! Due to increased food costs and need in the community, we need additional funds to finish the last two months of the year. If you would like to help, you can donate online or in the offering plate and designate it for “Food Missions.” You can also help by sponsoring a monthly food purchase (ranging from $100–$750) or donating requested food items from our current needs list. You can find that list and learn how to sign up to serve at fairfaxumc.org/missions. Our next distribution day is July 18. We trust that God will continue to provide through the generosity of His people as we work together to serve our neighbors.
