AMEN Season of Lent Food Drive Begins Wednesday

Ash Wednesday will be on Wednesday, March 5. This is the first day of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and prayer leading up to Easter. With this in mind,AMEN would like for you and your family to consider participating in the Season of Lent Food Drive at the La Grange AMEN Food Panty. Below you will find a list of items needed at the Pantry.

AMEN asks that you and your family select one item from the list each day of Lent and donate those items to the Pantry. Feel free to bring your donated items each Sunday to your church and a representative will in turn drop those donations off at AMEN. AMEN hopes that you will prayerfully consider participating in this worthwhile event knowing in your heart that each item you donate will benefit one of your neighbors desperately in need. Thank you and may God bless you and your family.
