Can, Can

What are we doing?

Gathering can-goods and non-perishable food items and bags for packaging. Various items will be packaged and distributed to individuals and families that are in need. 

Why are we doing this?

This campaign is combating hunger. It provides individuals with food items during their time of hardship. The purpose of the “CAN, CAN”packages is to meet the nourishment needs of those in individuals and families during financial hardships. Also, through this package we are able to share the love of JESUS CHRIST, bring joy, peace and hope as we let the individual know they are of value and worth. Include a scripture in the bag or a little note of encouragement.
