The food drive begins tomorrow, July 1. To be counted in the competition for the trophy or the certificates donations will need to be received by August 5. Donations are accepted during business hours at both of our food pantries but if you need to deliver a donation at a different time for the July food drive we will work with you to make that possible.
You should be able to meet people from congregations participating in the food drive at our Meet the Candidates Barbecue next week. It appears likely the big budget reconciliation bill will pass this week and so the barbecue will be an opportunity to begin thinking about how we can respond to its passage at the state and local level.
We could also discuss that topic at a virtual meeting on Wednesday July 9. Since we are encouraging people to go to the barbecue on the 10th I am thinking that maybe we should cancel the FACE Hunger and Homelessness meeting for this month or move it back a week to July 16. I am scheduled to have neck surgery on August 1 an so it might be good to have a meeting this month since I do not know how quickly I will recover in August.
If we were to have a meeting this month would you prefer for it take place on July 9 or July 16? Either it would take place at noon on Zoom.
