Harvest for the Hungry 2021

If it feels like Thanksgiving is coming quickly, you're right! So this means that we need to get  you in gear for our annual “Harvest for the Hungry”.

“Harvest for the Hungry” invites members of our church family to bring non-perishable food and household items to the church.  These items will be divided between our New Life Ministry (supporting families who struggle to ‘make ends meet’) and the Greener Village Fredericton Food Bank. The food collected makes a positive impact on families with great need and is a sign, we pray, of God’s love and His provision through His Church.

What to give

Currently, the Greener Village website lists the following items as helpful to their ministry:

Food Hamper Items

• Canned Meats (tuna, chicken)

• Canned Pasta/Stew

• Dried legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas)​

Choice Items

• Cooking Oil

• Pancake Mix/Syrup

• Dish Soap

• ​Condiments

Baby Items

• ​Pull Ups

• Formula

  • ​Similac (blue can)

  • Goodstart

  • ​Enfamil

Hygiene Items

• Toothpaste

• Toothbrushes

• Soap

• Shampoo

Miscellaneous Items

• Plastic Bags

Next week we’ll share a list from our New Life Ministry.

How to give

We invite you to do a little shopping and then on EITHER Sunday, Oct. 3 OR Thanksgiving Sunday, Oct. 10, bring your harvest to the Connections Centre where it will be collected and ultimately distributed. Or, at this unusual time in our nation, you can make a financial donation to the project by simply designating your gift to “Harvest for the Hungry.” In the middle of October we’ll divide these gifts between New Life and Greener Village.

Thank you for making Christ’s love known through your thankful giving and may God use our harvest for His glory!
