Growing Together! Join us this Lent as we support Matthew’s Crossing’s Meals to Grow Program!

Every single week, volunteers at Matthew’s Crossing fill and distribute 1,200 packs of food to elementary aged children to ensure they are fed outside of school hours. Please consider purchasing these items during your next trip to the grocery store.

The most needed items are:

  • Ramen **#1 Kid’s Choice**

  • Canned Pasta (spaghettiOs)

  • Canned Beans (Pinto, Black beans)

  • Tuna

  • Small packets of Oatmeal

  • Pasta Sauce Cans - NO GLASS

  • Fruit Cups/Applesauce

  • Granola Bars

  • Cereal

  • Bags of Instant Potatoes

When donating, be sure to check the expiration dates - items should expire July 1, 2024 or later.

Place them in the blue bin of the Narthex on Sundays or during regular office hours in Lent: February 18 - March 17!

Monetary donations can be made via check (memo: Matthew’s Crossing), on Simple Give by selecting “Outreach” or at the following link.
