Donations Needed for Church of the Savior Food Pantry |
| Church of the Savior, which
maintains a food pantry at the Building 7 church, is seeking donations of
non-perishable food to help the pantry keep up with an increasing demand in
recent months. Rev. Dr. Robert Smith said the pantry historically
helped approximately 10 Co-op City families put food on the table each
month, but, in recent months, the demand has jumped to 40 families.
To keep up with the increased demand, donations of non-perishable food such as canned vegetables, soups and cereals are needed. Residents who would like to donate food can drop it off at the church between 6 and 8 p.m., Monday and Tuesday evening, or on Sunday morning between 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. Co-op City residents can also call the church at (718) 925-5052 to arrange to drop off their donations at another time or to register for help from the pantry. |
