Blankets for Babies – Thank You!
Many thanks to the ladies who are stitching blankets for babies at home. It’s always heartwarming to find them in our Blankets for Babies box (located on the table in the south narthex).

URGENT NEED - Food Needed for Emmaus Food Pantry
The Emmaus Food Pantry is currently very low on food. Several of the stores that normally support the Pantry aren’t donating canned goods as they’ve done in the past. Please keep the Food Pantry in mind when you’re grocery shopping and looking through your kitchen pantry. Donations can be placed in the wooden bin or Extravagant Sharing shelves. Thank you for supporting those in need.
