Highway Clean-up Spring date: APRIL 5-13 It’s that time of year again! Snow is (almost) gone, but the trash and winter debris remain. Come help us clean up America (or our two-mile part of it)—it’s a great opportunity to grab some fresh air, and it doesn’t take long if we have lots of folks. Choose your lane, choose your time! Please sign up on the narthex bulletin board. You’ll be contacted with more information soon. Thank you
The Coat and Outerwear Pantry, a vitally important ministry, has closed for the season:
The Reed City Area Coat Pantry would like to thank everyone who donated items or money to support the coat pantry for the 2024-2025 winter season. We were able to offer a weekly opportunity for people to access warm coats, snow pants, boots, hats, mittens and scarves. Together we were able to give assistance to over 100 families with approximately 740 winter items. People were very appreciative, and we thank you for joining in this endeavor for our community. See you in the fall!
May 17 COOKING CLASS to help our neighbors learn to prepare healthy meals with the food items they receive from the food pantry. LOVE, INC. and the Food Pantry are helping to make this ministry a success. Space is limited - with eight cooking carts available.
The Food Pantry is located at St. Philip Neri Church, 831 S. Chestnut St., Reed City. It is open every Tuesday • 10 am – 1 pm and volunteers are needed to help.
The item of the month is cake or brownie mixes- any kind and any brand .
You may leave these items AND other non-perishable donations in or near the bin in our church foyer.
A reminder: donated items must be in their original sealed packaging/no open bags or boxes or partially used items. Importantly, they must also display current, non-expired dating for “use by” purposes. The food pantry cannot distribute any item that is past-date and expired. While many items are safe beyond their expiration date, they are not usable by the food pantry and will be discarded.
Please keep in mind, monetary donations are used to purchase food in bulk quantities at a reduced cost. You may give through your church offering -- please mark your gift "Food Pantry." Thank you!
THANK YOU for supporting our March blood drive!
As a result of meeting our donation goal, 90 patients of Michigan families will be affected by your lifesaving gifts of blood. Thank you for being a part of something so impactful!! Your blood donation reaches far and wide—and one donor at our March drive learned that her blood went to a patient right here, at our Corewell Reed City Hospital!
We look forward to seeing you at our next blood drive on MAY 15 from 11a-4p!
