UCC Stoughton News for July 15, 2011

sale
Cleaning out your closet, garage, attic?
  
Ready to get rid of "stuff" you'll never use again?


From now until the end of October, I will be collecting items for our church's annual Holiday Fair.
 
I'll be accepting the following items in good condition:
White elephant/attic treasures, jewelry, small working electronics, small furniture or home décor items, fiction books, CDs, DVDs, holiday decorations, children's books and toys

Please -- NO computers, clothing, non-fiction or textbooks,
exercise equipment or other large items.

You can drop them by the church on Sunday mornings or during regular church hours (mostly mornings before noon) or contact Marcia Olson and make arrangements to have them picked them.

We are also seeking donations for our Silent Auction - if you are able to make a donation of a gift certificate, gift cards, tickets to a play or sporting event, movie tickets, sports memorabilia, or some other item, we would be most grateful. 

Many thanks, Marcia Olson, baglole.olson@verizon.net, 781-344-9547.



pantry

Please remember the hungry among us as you enjhoy the summer BBQ's and savor the delicious fruits and vegetables of the season.  The Stoughton food pantry shelves need replensihing so as you cruise the grocery aisles keep this simple phrase in mind-

Buy One, Get One- Give One! 


As you shop and see the Buy One, Get One Free promotions - why not get one for you and then pick up the free one to share with your neighbors who are struggling to feed their families -
it's a win-win for everyone! 

There are many ways you can drop off food items:  Leave your items in our church lobby when you come to worship.  Make a delivery on Tuesday mornings directly to the food pantry, located behind the Methodist Church on Seaver Street.  Drop non-perishable food items at the Stoughton Public Library.  Call Stoughton resident Peg Carbone (508-889-1385) who will pick up items every Thursday.   Or send her an email at peg.carbone@comcast.net.
