“Hearts Helping Hunger” Food Donation Drive-thru February 8, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in our Parking Lot
Rotterdam UMC maintains a food pantry for the community. The pantry sees a lot of use but it is harder to keep the pantry full during school breaks since students aren’t getting meals at school making the need for food higher.
In preparation for winter school break, we’re sponsoring a food collection drive over the next few weeks, culminating in a “Hearts Helping Hunger Donation Drive-thru”.
All non-perishable items are gratefully accepted.
Here’s how you can help…
#1 Come drop your donation off at our Hearts Helping Hunger Donation Drive-thru in the church parking lot.
#2 Spread the Word!
