Growing Together - Food Drive


  • Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church 901 West Erie Street Chandler, AZ, 85225 United States (map)

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.

This year’s focus:

  • Tuna

  • Ramen **#1 Kid’s Choice**

Additional items include canned pasta (such as SpaghettiOs), canned beans (pinto and black beans), small packets of oatmeal, canned pasta sauce (no glass containers), fruit cups or applesauce, granola bars, cereal, and bags of instant potatoes. Your generosity helps provide essential nourishment to individuals and families facing food insecurity.

When donating, be sure to check the expiration dates - items should expire July 1, 2025 or later.

Place them in the blue bin of the narthex on Sundays or during regular office hours in Lent: March 30 - April 6!

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