The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. In a rising inflation environment, those adversely affected by the higher cost of basic needs experience greater food insecurity. The faces of those affected aren’t simply those who live below the poverty line. Although there are multiple overlapping issues that affect individuals and families affected by food insecurity, St. Paul has an opportunity and responsibility to help those in need.
In October, we want to make a difference through two opportunities to serve. On Sunday, October 23rd, from 9 am to 1 pm, individuals, families, or groups can sign up for a shift to pack food bags that will be distributed around the world to help those without steady access to basic food items. In addition, during October, St. Paul is packing our Boy Scout trailer with non-perishable food items to be distributed locally through our Wynnton Neighborhood Network ministry.
The next time you purchase groceries, add these items to your list:
• Canned Vegetables (any type)
• Canned Meat
• Canned Fruit
• Canned Tomato Products
• Mac & Cheese Boxes
• Spaghetti Sauce and Noodles
• Peanut Butter & Jelly
• Soups
• Cans of Yams
• Cans of Cranberries
• Cans of Evaporated Milk
• Boxes of Instant Potatoes
Volunteer and join me on October 23rd, as we hope to pack 25,000 food bags, and let’s fill up our trailer!
