CCA FOOD PANTRY: The CCA Food Pantry is currently serving 13+ families in the PEACH (Palmyra, Easter Lake, Avon Lake, Carlisle, Hartford) area. The food pantry is open on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month and anyone in the PEACH area can fill 2-4 bags with food, plus paper goods and bathroom items. Holy Cross has been the location for the CCA food pantry since the 1980's. Check the list posted on the Food Pantry door for immediate donation needs. Please ask Kathy Dee if there are any questions or for opportunities to get involved.
THIS SATURDAY, April 18, from 1:30-4:30pm is the annual food sorting for the CCA Food Pantry. The Boy Scouts canvas the towns in the PEACH area for food donations and a group of Holy Cross (and other family and friend) volunteers spend a few hours sorting the food by date and getting it organized on the shelves to serve the community for the next year. We appreciate everyone who has helped in the past and look forward to doing it again this year. All ages are welcome! Invite friends and family to come! Feel free to come and go as you are able. Please ask Kathy Dee if there are any questions.
