The Outreach Committee is delighted to report that we have our first shelf in the Emergency Food Box Pantry filled! We are going to have our second round of box packing Wednesday, February 24th following the healing service which starts at 5:30. Volunteers are welcome. Here is a list of specific healthy food items we still need. They can be generic, but must match the specific items to meet the requirements of the Geaux Get Healthy program. Thank you for your generosity.
      • Canned tuna or chicken packed in water
      • Peanut butter or almond butter
      • No sodium peanuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios or mixed nuts
      • No sugar added apple sauce
      • Whole wheat pasta
      • Brown rice
