Greetings Desert Cross friends,

The Tempe Campus “Be Thankful” Food Drive has started and will be ongoing through November 23rd.

 

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.

GILBERT CAMPUS:

The Gilbert campus Be Thankful Food Drive will start on October 26th and run through November 23rd. They are asking for the same type of foods as the Tempe Campus (see list above).

Thanks so much from your DCLC Outreach team!
