 SOCKS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED STILL For several years now, the Jacksonville congregation has been rallying to the call: “Warm Hearts, Warm Feet, Give Socks”. Last year’s effort resulted in more than 2,700 pairs of socks delivered to families in our greater community who are in desperate need of warm clothing. This year, we have delivered more than 700 pairs so far to the Samaritan Center and the Friendship Center in Ithaca and to the Interlaken Food Pantry, where they have been received joyfully on behalf of folks who are struggling to keep warm this winter. Our goal is 2,000 pairs, and we are in the heart of the coldest winter weather. You are invited to join in this effort with your family to help with this important local mission project. We will continue to collect socks throughout the month of February. Together, we can make a significant difference in people’s lives. Do you agree that this is what we are called to do?  Beginning in September 2014 , we have been having a "Food Pantry Sunday”. We have asked eachparishioner to bring a specific item each month. We had hoped to reach 50 "extra" items per month. And as you can tell from this picture, we have not stopped bringing in regular donations to the food pantry and that's a good thing! Food Pantry Sunday is the last Sunday of each month.

Founded in 1988 by Sara Pines, MSW, Ph.D., Friendship Donations Network’s mission is to rescue fresh nutritious food from stores and farms that would otherwise be thrown away and redistribute it to neighbors in need. This is accomplished by an extensive network of volunteers who pick up donations of mostly perishable excess and day-old food and deliver them to pantries and programs that serve in excess of 2,100 people weekly. We divert over 500,000 lbs. of good food from the landfill each year!Find us on Facebook: facebook.com/ FriendshipDonations
