Food for Wesley Methodist
Weekly Food Distribution
From Vickie Healy-Minister Wesley United Methodist Church :
We give out between 25-30 bags of groceries each week - sometimes more and sometimes fewer.
Each bag is about the same. We try to limit one bag per household per month but rarely turn any one away.
Each bag contains:
24 oz jar of apple sauce
1 box of saltine crackers
1 large box of cereal - Cheerios/generic works well because it can be eaten dry and by small children
1 can of corn
1 can of peas or green beans
1 jar of peanut butter
2 boxes of macaroni and cheese
1 roll of toilet tissue
1 bar of soap.
