FOOD CAMPAIGN Once again, Blessed Sacrament Parish will hold Feeding Our Neighbors to help replenish Food Pantries in our community. From January 27 through February 4, you can Feed Our Neighbors by replenishing the Blessed Sacrament Food Pantry, our sister pantry at the Kennedy Center on West 134th Street. It only takes one small action to feed the hungry. Together we can change lives.
Four simple ways to participate are: (1) Bring non-perishable foods to Saturday and Sunday Masses between January 27th and February 4th (2) Support by donating money during a Mass collection (3) Volunteer at a Food Pantry near you and 4) Tell your legislators we must feed children at risk of hunger by using Bread for the World at bread.org/write-congress.
Pick up a flyer with Feeding Our Neighbors information and food list at the church entrance.
