Time is Hopping along – let’s plan for the EASTER EGG HUNT! We are hoping (?hopping?) to once again hold the Trinity Cathedral Easter Egg Hunt this year, March 31st! Can you help? We are looking for: Easter egg fillers (treats, small prizes, etc. – we have PLENTY of eggs!), small baskets with handles (for the little ones who may have forgotten one on the day). Please drop off all donations at the Cathedral! Any questions? Please call Rose Cooper or E-mail her at g.r.c@att.net
This week we will bag food for the Food Pantry – We can use assistance the Thursday prior to each Pantry date. The next bagging day is Thursday, February 22nd at 4:45 pm.
If you are interested in helping the Food Pantry, we can especially use one or two volunteers who can lift up to 50 pounds – We have folks who can pack our food bags, but they require assistance lifting cases of canned goods onto the packing tables and moving the packed bags into place to be handed out. Can you fill this need? Please call Lourdez “Cookie” Hernandez at (609) 902-8282.
