 The Outreach Team is bringing back “Two Cents a Meal,” a small hunger program to further benefit FISH, our local food cupboard/emergency assistance organization. “FISH needs cash as well as food to do its work,” said Darlene Giffin, co-chair of New Life’s Outreach Team. “At times FISH will provide emergency assistance such as paying a utility bill, buying a pair of eye glasses, or providing non-food supplies. In these cases, cash is what is most helpful.”
Members of New Life will find a Two Cents a Meal envelope in their bulletin the last Sunday of each month starting in April, and will be asked to place their donation in the envelope for collection at the service. (Part of the idea is for families to put that two cents in an envelope at each meal as they say the blessing and express gratitude!) 2 Cents-a-Meal = 6 cents per day = 42 cents per week = $1.68 per month = $20.16 per year. Contact Darlene if you have any questions!
