St. Matthew > News > Christmas Meal Bins

One of the best ways to celebrate Christmas is by sharing our blessings with those who are under-resourced. Our parish will reach out to our neighbors in need and provide them with non-perishable food items for Christmas Day celebrations. If you would like to join us in this effort, please fill a lidded 18-gallon plastic container with food for Christmas Day.

Examples of items to include would be:

  • boxed mashed potatoes
  • stuffing mixes
  • canned soups, vegetables, and fruit
  • cranberry sauce
  • gravy mixes
  • brownie/cake/cookie mix
  • muffin/quick bread mix

Personalize your container by including a note of encouragement, inspirational Bible verses, and Christmas well-wishes. We will collect containers on Dec. 7 and 8, we will have trucks in the parking lot for you to place your donations. Should the trucks fill up, please place containers in the narthex of the church (main campus).
