Ash Wednesday, March 6th, St. Mary’s begins our annual “Wall out Hunger” Campaign:  We will be collecting nonperishable food items, toiletries, personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, paper goods, etc. to build an actual wall in the Baptistery for the entire Lenten season. This year we will be supporting both the MACC Food Pantry and Bennet’s Family Resource Center. We are hoping to collect enough personal care items (deodorants, shampoo, body wash, soap, feminine hygiene products) to give to both the pantry and to the Family Resource Center.  Nonperishable food items, paper products, cleaning products, diapers, etc., will be delivered to MACC on Palm Sunday (April 14th) after the 9 am service to help support the over 1,200 people who shop monthly.  Throughout Lent, please bring your donations to the church and place them on the wall. The people of St. Mary’s have given generously in the past. Please help us to build an even larger wall this year to “wall out hunger” and support those families in need in our Manchester community.
