If you are able to contribute to the Beyond SNAP program, please bring your gifts to Gloria Dei by May 31. Pastor, John and Gloria will take them to the Synod Assembly for you. Here is the description of Beyond SNAP:
Beyond SNAP* *Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps)
It is a tradition of the I/K Synod Assembly to support a ministry within the host conference. Many of the congregations in the Lafayette Conference are involved in programs addressing food insecu- rity in their neighborhoods. Often food insecure families are also in need of non-food products. The Lafayette Conference has created a project to collect non-food items that cannot be purchased using SNAP and we invite the Assembly to join us in this project. The collection will be distributed by our congregations to our neighbors through local food pantries, women’s shelters and agencies serving the poor.
We are collecting things you can’t buy through SNAP
1. Toilet paper
2. Laundry detergent
3. Toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss
4. Soap
5. Diapers
6. Feminine hygiene products
7. Deodorant
8. Hair-care products
9. Cleaning products
10.Lotion, powder, sunscreen, lip balm, etc.
