ONE FAMILY - FEED A FAMILY

Are you having a holiday party or get-together soon? We have a fun project that will get the young and the old alike involved. Ask each family to help one family in need by purchasing food items that will help fill a BOX of HOPE. Print off our flyer and include it with the party invitation. Get the young kids involved with designing a note cards to go into the boxes. Our families in need could use a smile and a note of encouragement.

 

FILL THE PANTRY PARTY

We all love a good party, but we are sometimes lost as to what to bring. So help your guest by suggesting to them that they can bring cans or boxes of non-perishable foods to party in the most outrageouly decorated box. Have a contest for the most unusally, prettiest and wildly decorated food box. Let them know it is going to Metropolitan Ministries to help feed the homeless. Our flyer has suggestions as to what we need the most.
