Food Cupboard Donations During Construction Time
The Third Church Food Cupboard receives food from Foodlink, located
at 936 Exchange Street. Third Church volunteers pick up the food every
Tuesday and deliver it to the church. This help is vital to the operation
of our Food Cupboard and we cannot continue this ministry without
the help of transportation volunteers! If you have an SUV, van or
truck, and can be available one Tuesday each month, any time between
9:00am and 2:00pm, please contact Kay Ramsay at 544-9022 or kramsay80@yahoo.com.
The Food Cupboard needs to maintain the same level of grocery distribution
during construction. The usual containers can be found outside the
first floor office in the Parish House and in the Narthex of the Chapel.
Donations placed in containers at Incarnate Word will be exclusively
for the Incarnate Word food ministries. You may also send a check
to the church office.

events from 2010.
