FOOD LOCKER
The Church of the Ascension food pantry is a collection of staples to
be distributed to people with emergency food needs in the Lexington Park
area. The pantry is located in the undercroft and is staffed by volunteers
from H.O.P.E. and parishioners of the church. Their responsibility
is to fill out the necessary paperwork for their files as well as for government
food distribution. The Church of the Ascension is the host for special
food drives at Easter and Thanksgiving and asks for volunteers to help
collate and deliver the food during these drives. Donations of food
for the food pantry can be left in the Narthex as you enter the church
on Sunday. Monetary donations to the food pantry are gratefully accepted
and can be put in the offering plate on Sunday mornings. The Social
Outreach Chairperson uses the money to purchase food for the food pantry.
Look at the list below and see what items you can
purchase on your next trip to the store. You can leave the
food in the Narthex as you enter church. Remember also that personal
hygiene items are needed. Thank you in advance for your contributions
and continued support of this ministry.

"To give and give and give
again, what God has given thee; to spend thyself nor count the cost; to
serve right gloriously that God who gave all worlds that are, and all that
are to be."
