Greetings Desert Cross friends,

The “Be Thankful” Food Drive has started at both campuses and will be ongoing through November 23rd.

 

TEMPE CAMPUS

We are collecting non-perishable food items only. This year we are NOT collecting frozen turkeys.  Instead, a grocery gift card would be appreciated.

Please put non-perishable items in the receptacle labeled “Thanksgiving Food Drive” in the Narthex. A box will be provided by the receptacle for gift cards.

 

Highest Need Non-Perishable Food Items Requested:
(other non-perishable food items are also welcomed)

  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned meat, such as tuna fish
  • Canned Vienna Sausages
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned fruit
  • Applesauce cups
  • Canned or dry Beans (any type is good)
  • Cereal
  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Ramen Noodles
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Soup
  • Special holiday season food items, such as:
    • Turkey dressing
    • Canned sweet potatoes
    • Dehydrated mashed potatoes
  • Grocery gift cards to buy turkeys or whatever family needs


Tempe donations will benefit the Kyrene Resource Center and Matthew’s Crossing.

 

GILBERT CAMPUS:

The Gilbert Campus is asking for the same type of foods as the Tempe Campus (see list above).

Gilbert's most urgent need is for:

  • Cereal
  • Canned Goods (not green beans)


Gilbert donations will benefit the Lutheran Social Services Food Pantry, and will be taken weekly rather than at the end of the month.

 

We are grateful for your generosity for those who are less fortunate. 

Thanks so much from your DCLC Outreach team!
