Please help to stock the shelves of the Seymour Oxford Food Bank to get supplies to those in need!
You’ve no doubt seen the unimaginable devastation caused by the rainstorm on Sunday, August 18 — thankfully, it’s rare when this type of catastrophe hits this close to home. The storm devastated communities of our neighbors in Seymour and Oxford and it inspired the Eastern Fairfield Cooperative Parish’s Missions and Outreach Team to take up a collection. Please join the congregations of our cooperative parish by donating what you can. Thanks, in advance, for your support!
What is Needed: cereal, oatmeal, soups, ramen noodles, canned chicken, canned tuna, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, canned pasta, peanut butter, jelly, mac n cheese, microwave meals, snacks, canned fruit, crackers, granola bars, body soap, deodorant, toothpaste, tooth brushes, feminine products.
Ways to Donate:
Drop offs: bring items to church Sunday, August 25 and September 1 OR drop them off during regular office hours (Tues/Thu 9:00 am – 12:00 pm)
** Groceries can also be delivered via Amazon, Instacart or local store to Rebecca Arnold, 12 Bishop Road, Oxford, CT 06478
Monetary donations: make checks payable to UMC Monroe (with “UMCOR/CT Flood” in the memo line) OR donate online (a donation button can be found on our homepage). Donations to UMCOR/CT Flood will benefit all communities in need in our region.
