The

missing out on the chance to come in and check them out!

First
Baptist Church of Appleton City and Appleton City FFA have paired up again this
year to make an impact in the local community by campaigning for canned food
and other non-perishable food items to stay local and be donated to West
Central Community Action Center's food pantry, right here in Appleton
City. Representatives from both FBC and
AC FFA will be out on the afternoon of Monday, October 23 to distribute empty
grocery sacks with a note attached on how to fill the sack and when and where
to leave it for pickup. Be on the
lookout for those empty sacks on your front porches and doorsteps. On
Wednesday, October 25, First Baptist Church Team will pick up full bags on the
north side of the city; while Appleton City FFA will pick up all full bags on
the south side of the city. If you live
outside of city limits and would like to contribute to this food drive to help
offset hunger in families right here in St. Clair County, please don't hesitate
to drop off at Appleton City High School/Ag Building.
Funds are
needed for the “Backpack Program”. The
backpacks have kid friendly food that goes home with 35 needy school kids
weekly. Trinity United Methodist Church
in Appleton City houses this project, which is funded by community
donations. At this time, with the
increase in cost of groceries, they are reaching out for your help. Donations
are accepted at the church, 214 E. 3rd St. ACMO 64724. Please make checks payable to: Trinity United
Methodist Church, with the memo: Backpack.
For more information, call 660-492-7591.
