St. John’s United Church of Christ of Niles will participate in a “Mission: 1 project of the United Church of Christ.”
The goal of this project is to collect more than 1 million items of healthy food and other household items nationwide for local food banks during an 11-day period of time.
The United Church of Christ has identified Nov. 1-11 as the actual campaign dates. At the Oct. 14 fish fry at St. John’s United Church of Christ, 601 Sycamore, Niles, a collection barrel for food will be made available for anyone who would like to donate.
All items collected will remain in Niles for local food banks.
The church maintains a food barrel throughout the year and provides food for local food banks as well as the backpack program for the Headstart Program at Northside School.
For questions, call the church office at 683-4420 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
