Haven Ministry has an ongoing need for canned goods and non-perishable items. If each member of the congregation brought in one item each Sunday we could help our neighbors in need. As you grocery shop each week remember those who have less. If you see a sale or a buy1/1free offer when you are shopping, consider donating your extra items. One of the caring assets of us as a congregation has been to make a difference in our community in all ways. A box is in the Entranceway for your contributions.
