Food Closet Report - March 2004

Posted: Thursday, April 29, 2004

Calvary and other churches in the Rio Linda/Elverta Area support the Food Closet located at the Rio Linda Community United Methodist Church. The food closet accepts all cash or non-perishable food. It can be left at our church or taken to the food closet Monday or Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 12 Noon.

During the month of March, 22 families comprised of 30 adults and 32 children (for a total of 71 individuals) were served from the Food Closet with enough food for 3 meals a day for 3 days for each individual.

During March generous monetary donations were received from the Rio Linda Fun Club, Elverta United Methodist Church Women's Group, and several individuals. We also received special quantities of food from the Calvary Lutheran Church and LifePointe Church of the Nazarene, the Cub & Boy Scouts, Curves Weight Loss Clinic and Brasher's Sacramento Auto Auction.

The main need this month is Peanut butter, jam and cereal.

The food closet is open every Monday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Calvary is responsible for "manning" the food closet the third Monday and third Thursday of each month. If anyone would like to be a part of this important ministry, please call Betty Lagge or the church office (991-2135) to find out more information.

May God bless you as you continue to support this effort.
