The “Souper Bowl of Caring” food drive has begun at the Collierstown Presbyterian Church. This year’s drive has as its theme “Pack the Porch” for those with food needs. The railed porch area at the entrance to the church’s two front doors will be the food collection site on Saturday, Feb. 10, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The church wants to fill the porch completely with canned food, paper products and monetary gifts that will be donated to two local food banks, the Natural Bridge/ Glasgow food pantry and Helping Hands, a food ministry of Fairfield Presbyterian Church.
The Collierstown church family invites the community and its churches to help by bringing donations to the church on Feb. 10. Volunteers will pick up donations if requested and will be on hand to help place items on the porch that day. Contributions may also be dropped off at Goad’s Body Shop or Cattlemen’s Market any business day Monday through Friday the week of Feb. 5-9.
For more information on becoming a “porch volunteer” or to arrange a donation pick up, call the church at (540) 463-5918. Monetary gifts can be mailed to Collierstown Presbyterian Church, 31 Church Drive, Lexington, VA 24450 and should be designated for “Pack the Porch.”
