Our middle and high school youth are sponsoring the 500 Can Challenge for the Lutheran Food Pantry during the month of November. This is a Thrivent-sponsored event and if we collect at least 500 nonperishable food items for the Pantry we will receive an additional $500 check from the Nebraska Thrivent chapter.
Some items that are needed for the Pantry are:
- Canned fruits and veggies
- Rice
- Pancake mixes and syrup
- Canned meats
- Pasta
- Spaghetti sauce
- Canned soup
- Canned beans (chili, kidney, pinto)
- Canned tomatoes
- Canned meals (spaghetti & meatballs, ravioli, etc.)
- Macaroni & cheese
- Breakfast bars (Pop Tarts, granola bars, oatmeal/fruit bars)
- Snack items (small packages of cookies, nuts, fruit-flavored snacks, etc.)
- Personal care items (shampoo, bar soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes)
Please leave your items by the display in the Gathering Center. Last year’s challenge collected 2,666 items. Let’s beat that number!
