Annual Thanksgiving food drive of non-perishable food donated to local food pantry
The 2023 food drive is now closed. The donations were delivered to First United
Methodist Churn in New Port Richey. The SUV was packed thanks to church members,
neighbors, thrift shop customers, groups and more.
Thank you Jack and Matthew for loading the car and Melanie for
delivering it.
It was a huge outpouring of love and support to
our brothers and sisters in need.

Tree and purchase a gift for that child. The children are ages 3-5. We also
