AT ST. CECILIA CHURCH
THANKSGIVING FOOD COLLECTION
For over 40 years, the volunteers at the Office of Concern Food Pantry have been assisting families in Bergen County with weekly supplemental food, currently serving nearly 700 families living below the federal poverty level. They are expecting over 800 families to look for support this Thanksgiving.
The Office of Concern is now gearing up for their annual Thanksgiving food collection. Donations of specific holiday foods such as cranberry sauce, gravy, dried potatoes, canned yams, stuffing mix, rice, canned vegetables and canned fruit are needed. Foods that are needed year-round include pasta, canned foods and beverages, and breakfast cereals. Donations can be dropped off in the elevator lobby at any time.
The Thanksgiving collection of frozen turkeys will take place before and after all Masses on Saturday, November 19th and Sunday, November 20th.
