GRAFTON FOOD BANK – MONTHLY COLLECTION

Please think of our neighbors who are food-insecure when you shop this month, and place your items in one of the Food Baskets located in the church (as you enter the Sanctuary, by the Thrift Shop door, or in the Fellowship Hall). Donated items will be brought to the Food Bank each month. 

NEWS FROM WAMS

Donations of Diapers, Wipes, and Feminine Pads

The Worcester Area Mission Society (WAMS)  continues to accept donations of diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene pads to their new migrant neighbors living in area shelters because of lack of supplies.  There is a donation bin in the church kitchen marked for WAMS.

THURSDAY CAFE BAGGED LUNCHES 

Worcester Fellowship resumes their Thursday Café this month.  Every Thursday, from September to May, they reach out to homeless and at-risk adults to nurture community and  provide pastoral care by providing a free hot meal, a place to relax and socialize, and a  bagged lunch to take with them.Our church has signed up to prepare and donate the bagged lunches on the third Thursday of each month.  The first date is September 18th.  Volunteers are needed to donate food items, help make the sandwiches, and pack the items in the bags.
