First Parish is collecting food for our Canton Food Pantry (under the leadership of the Canton Helpline) every Sunday from November through December, particularly due to the increased need with the federal termination of SNAP benefits. The national No Kings Day movement also has called for mutual aid actions to support local food pantries.

Baskets will be at the front of the sanctuary, and you can place your food items there when you come in to worship or afterwards. If each person can bring one item, that would be fabulous! The current high priority needed items, according to the food pantry, are:

Cereals, pancake mix and syrup
Juices (all kinds)
Tuna fish (white)
Pasta sauce in jars
Box pasta
Snacks, cookies, crackers and chips
Baked beans

All donations are appreciated!
