REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR
Would you like to participate in a reverse Advent calendar that tells you to add a food item to a box every day in December, leading you to have a container full of 24 items by the time Christmas comes to donate to a local food panty?
The items chosen on the list to fill your reverse Advent calendar donation box are inexpensive and easy to find. In fact, you probably have many of these items in your pantry already. And if you want to swap some of them for alternate donation items, the end result will be just as satisfying when you drop off your box of food.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY
Thank you to those who generously gave food and money to the Daily Bread Food Pantry. Your generosity is appreciated as the numbers of people needing food has greatly increased in Danbury, as well as the rest of the country. The Pandemic has kept many people out of work and without money to buy food. Stimulus money may be coming, but not soon enough.
There is one fact which I must share with you to help to increase available food for those in need. Financial support is even more effective than food donations as food banks can purchase perishable and other food items from the Connecticut food bank at discounted prices, therefore, providing even more food for the hungry.
You can do this by donating virtual poinsettias at church. You can also send money to church and we will make a combined donation. You can log on to dailybreadfoodpantrydanburyct.org and donate there. The Love Fund also helps those in need.
Finally, if you, a relative or neighbor is food insecure, please contact the church office or me. We are all in this together!
