ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH FOOD MINISTRY- Due to a mouse infestation, St. Paul's Episcopal Church Food Ministry is in need of 28 quart sized containers to pack food for safe keeping.   These can be clean used containers or new. They also continue to have a need for low sugar grape jelly, brown paper lunch sacs, sandwich bags and soft or chewy granola bars or snack bars such as Nutrigrain Bars.  Please place items in the container in the narthex marked for St. Paul's.
