Thanksgiving Baskets for the Needy

Pender’s ESL Ministry will bless needy families with a Thanksgiving food basket.

Monetary donations to help our volunteers select the requested food items will be appreciated. (Make checks payable to Pender UMC and write “Thanksgiving Baskets” in the memo section or give online.)

Volunteers are needed to assemble the baskets on Nov. 23 at 1 pm in the Fellowship Hall, help with the bagging of items and baking cookies.

Volunteers are also needed on Nov. 25 from 10am-2pm for basket pick up. Questions, contact or email Liliana Rivera, Ann MacDonald or Steve Dockweiler.
