Feed the Hungry- November Food Drive

Even though the recent federal shutdown has ended, we will continue our efforts to feed the hungry this month. SNAP assistance for our vulnerable neighbors in Wake County has been seriously impacted, and the lag in support is causing hardship. 

To that end, I invite you to consider offering additional support to feed the hungry this November. At Good Shepherd, you can love your hungry neighbor by:

• bringing canned/shelf-stable protein (such as tuna, chicken, or salmon) to church which will be donated to the Urban Ministries Food Pantry. Children and youth are warmly encouraged to participate in this corporal work of mercy.
  
  
• making a monetary donation (for checks, please include "SNAP Support" in the memo line). Donations will be split evenly - half of the funds will be used to purchase $10 gift cards to A Place at the Table pay-what-you-can cafe, and the other half will be donated to Urban Ministries operating costs.

Donation baskets will be available at the church and in the Parish Life Center for food items and for monetary offerings. Online giving is now available through Realm and on the parish website.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Please join me in continuing to pray for our government, for mutual good will among legislators, and the vision to see what is possible when we commit to working together for the common good. 

In Christ's love as ever,
Imogen+
