5 & 2 Bread Ministry May Be Ending!
After 5 years of faithful service to the 5 & 2 Bread Ministry, Matt Croak has stepped down. We thank him for his dedication to this ministry that feeds hundreds of people each week!
Unless we are able to replace Matt with other volunteers, we will need to shut down the ministry effective immediately. The only way this ministry can continue will be for us to put together a team of people who can replace what Matt has been doing by boxing up the leftover food in the parish hall for pickups - anytime between Sunday afternoon and Wednesday morning (the time is flexible).
Currently we have volunteers who pick up the food from Manchester and bring it into our parish hall Friday nights between 8:30-9:15pm. What we are in need of are volunteers who can make sure the food is out of the church hall by Wednesday - by getting the leftover food ready for pick up from food pantries and from farmers for their animals. There are also a couple places that are short on staff that need the food delivered - Friends of Forgotten Children, Head Start, St. Paul’s Food Pantry, Christ the King Food Pantry.
Obviously this is an important ministry for many people and it is a way for our parish to be responsible stewards in response to Christ's call to feed the hungry: "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink." (Matthew 25:35)
Anyone who is willing to be part of a team that will step up and take on this responsibility, please contact Fr. Ray ASAP for more details: [email protected] or (603) 224-4393 x1.
