OCTOBER 27^th -The Assistance Center is planning for its annual Thanksgiving Basket Project. Last year, the supporting Churches and Towson Community contributed 1750 baskets to be distributed throughout the area. The Center must be notified as to the number of baskets we will provide by October 27^th so that a specific number can be pledged to the Dept. of Social Services and this also determines how many gift certificates they will need to purchase. A list of items, needs, and instructions are in the Church office. (Dry milk is off of the list). It is important these instructions be followed to keep the baskets consistent. The food baskets are to be delivered to and distributed from Trinity Episcopal Church’s Memorial Hall. Volunteers are needed to help in the preparation and distribution of these baskets. All who are interested in participating by contributing items of food, cash, or by volunteering, please contact the Church office 825-3360 for any information you may need.
