After the Highlands Christmas parade, Saturday, December 3, make time to stop by the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation for A Food Pantries Christmas.
From noon until 3:00 P.M. you can purchase a delicious barbeque lunch for $10 while listening to The Well Strung Band’s upbeat blend of bluegrass and contemporary music.
A Food Pantries Christmas is a cooperative effort supporting both the Highlands Emergency Council and The Food Pantry of Highlands. It’s an alternative gift event where you make a donation on behalf of your gift recipient. You’ll also be able to purchase homemade casseroles, pies, and a variety of jams, jellies, and pickles. All proceeds will benefit the food pantries in Highlands.
The Highlands Emergency Council is a grassroots organization. The mission of the Highlands Emergency Council is truly people helping people. It assists low-income residents of the Highlands area, senior citizens, young families, single-parent families, and those who have lost or are unable to find work. Their food pantry is just one of the many services that it offers and needs your support to keep its shelves stocked this winter.
The mission of the Food Pantry of Highlands is to provide nutritious food to anyone who meets the income eligibility guidelines. The colder months see a drastic decrease in employment opportunities here. The number of folks who depend on the pantry grows considerably in the winter and their shelves need to be constantly refilled.
Please consider giving the gift of generosity by visiting A Food Pantries Christmas on Saturday, December 3, held from noon until 3:00 P.M. at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation on Main Street, Highlands.
