Message from the Food Pantry:
The Smyrna/Clayton Ministerium Food Pantry is located downstairs at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 22 N. Union Street, Smyrna. The Pantry is open from 9:30am to 10:30am, Monday-Friday. Since we started the Pantry in October 2021, the daily numbers we serve from our community have tripled. We are in need of help daily for about an hour and a half to assist our guests, sort donations, (which we have a lot to do right now), and stock shelves. Volunteers can work once a week, every two weeks, once a month or whatever works for them. Since the Pantry is in the basement there is a flight of steps to get there. If anyone is interested in helping or has any questions, please contact Co-coordinator, Dorris Wheeler, 302-423-5047, or St. Peter’s Church at 302-653-9691.
For those that make weekly/monthly donations, we are always in need of: cereal, juice boxes or pouches, peanut butter and jelly, any condiments, hamburger helper and tuna helper, and sloppy joe sauce (Manwich). Thank you for any support.
Here at St. Polycarp, bins for your food donations are in the hallway outside of the Mother Drexel Hall. Please – no expired food. Thank you for your support.

ST. POLYCARP REMINDERS:
REDNER’S 1% SAVE-A-TAPE FUNDRAISER Hang onto those receipts until we are all together again!
Turn your food shopping into cash for our parish. If you are a Redner’s shopper, we would welcome your participation. It is so easy! Simply be sure to obtain and scan your Redner’s Rewards Card each time you shop. (Remember to shop only out of necessity.) Save your whole receipt.

What a hands-down and effortless way to help St. Polycarp Church.
REMINDER ABOUT THE PARKING
Please do not park in front of the dumpsters on Monday through Friday. This prevents the Waste Management Collection and the Recycling Collection from being picked up. Thank you for your cooperation!
