For the month of May, we are collecting "PET PACKS" which could include a bag with any pet-related items such as dog/cat food, treats, toys, etc. Please leave them near the bin in the kitchen marked "Food Bank". Our next volunteer day is the fourth Saturday of the month, May 23 at 9:30 a.m. at First UMC of Media, 350 W. State Street, Media.
The food bank is always in need of items that food stamps do not cover such as clothing, dish detergent, toothpaste, diapers, baby wipes, feminine products, toilet paper. Cans of fruit and rice are also really needed.
