A Growing Need

Our military and veterans have sacrificed so much in service to our country. Those deployed overseas shouldn't have to worry about whether their children have breakfast before school or if their baby has diapers and food. Many military spouses lose their jobs when they relocate with their service member, and hundreds of thousands of combat-injured veterans are left waiting-sometimes up to 18 months for a medical determination, leaving them without income. These challenges, along with many others, can put them in financial hardship. In times of crisis, they simply need a helping hand to get back on their feet.  With the government shutdown, many are not getting paid.  Add to that, many food banks have lost some of their federal funding.

How to Help

JCFEEDAFAMILY Thanksgiving meal drive has a goal of providing 350 Thanksgiving meals to Keystone Military Families Pantry and the Mifflin Community Food Bank. Let's help them reach that goal!  We will be collecting the following items until Sunday, November 2:

24 oz jars of applesauce

15 - 18 oz jars of mixed fruit (fruit cocktail)

Please place all donations on the stage in the auditorium. Thank you!

We are also accepting monetary donations.  You can give today securely online at this JCFeedAFamily Online Giving Link. You can also make a check payable to “First UCC of Hamburg” and write “JCFeedAFamily” on the memo line, or make a cash donation on Sunday morning marked “JCFeedAFamily.”
