YOUR LOVE IS REACHING OUR NEIGHBORS

For many years, Prince of Peace members have donated money to Lutheran World Relief which sends clothing, food, and necessary items to people throughout the world. 

This year we decided to assemble Personal Care Kits which contain a towel, soap, toothbrush, comb, and metal nail clippers which would be shipped to our international friends in need. In addition to people donating money to buy and ship these kits, we have received a grant form Thrivent Lutheran Financial to help us with these purchases.  Once the items are assembled, we will have a Personal Care Kit assembling party. All are invited. A date will be announced.

Now on the home front, we continue to collect toiletries and food for the Norwood Food Pantry.  Here is a list of preferred items:

Soups: low sodium chicken broth, beef broth, and vegetable broth, tomato, chicken, vegetable/bean, and cream soups, plus other soups.

Ritz or Saltine crackers, chicken in water, salmon, Spam, corned beef hash, Vienna sausage, decaf coffee, instant or regular coffee, black beans, dry beans. toiletries: tooth paste, tooth brushes adult and children, deodorant, soap, shampoo and conditioner. 

Canned fruits such as pineapple, mixed fruits, peaches, pears, mandarin oranges, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, Adobo, hot cocoa mix

Shop Rite gift cards and other foods are always welcome.
