How can I help?
1. Pick up from the church or purchase a medium sized box from Lowe’s. The boxes are located in the table and chair storage room in the Fellowship Hall.
2. Using the list below, shop for the food items that will feed a family for one week.
3. Return the box to the Fellowship Hall by Sunday evening.
4. Do not seal the top of the box!
5. On Monday morning, a fresh loaf of bread will be added to the box, the box sealed, and delivered to We Care.
Shopping suggestion: Food Lion Chapin – purchase Food Lion brands when possible for best pricing. Almost all items are located on two aisles.

Why are we putting food in boxes?
We Care has a mobile delivery service that transports food to Whitmire and other areas. They have a number of families that aren’t able to come to the delivery locations so the boxes make it much easier for food to be delivered to families in need. The complete boxes make sure each family has food for an entire week.
What if I find items on sale and can buy extra in bulk?
Great! But store it at your home to add to your next box. We currently aren’t able to store extra items to put together boxes at the church.
I’d like to help deliver the boxes to We Care.
Wonderful!! Please let Lynn know so you can be added to the schedule of delivery drivers.
