Table Of Plenty Still Needs OUR Help!
We appreciate the outpouring of help from St. Barnabas so far. Your help has enabled Table of Plenty to meet the increasing needs of the local community, but it is still a struggle. The Food Bank of Delaware has recently lost federal funding and is no longer able to help local outreach agencies like Table of Plenty. Both Amy Quillen and Bruce Baird, who volunteer with Table of Plenty, are asking for your help. For questions about laundry and cleaning product donations, contact Amy Quillen. For questions about donating white rice or black beans, please contact Bruce Baird. You can bring your donations to church or drop them in the office during office hours. Please keep the donations coming! Thank you!

A Special Message from Linda Hardy about Jewelry
Remember that the jewelry elves are collecting cast-off jewelry, including "I don't know why I bought this," "It's too tattered to wear again," "I haven't worn it in years," "it's missing too many stones" and "I don't want to see it" items. NOTE: if you're donating something that was expensive, please write a note about it; I don't want to underprice good pieces. You could stuff it in a box or bag; bring it to church any time; leave it in the office for Linda Hardy [302 235 8612]
Do you want to be a jewelry elf? Just call me. All willing helpers are welcome.
