Circle of Concern Thanksgiving Food Collection
Circle of Concern is a community charity that feeds the hungry and provides long-term and emergency assistance to families living in western St. Louis County. These are families that live in this area and have children who attend schools in the Parkway, Rockwood and Valley Park school districts. Circle of Concern’s food pantry fed 1,339 people in September 2008 an increase of 27% from September of 2007. The children and teens are collecting food until Wednesday, November 19 for Circle’s Thanksgiving food baskets and we would like to take a group of teens and adults on Saturday, November 22 to help distribute the food baskets to needy families. The baskets are distributed from St. John’s UCC, 15370 Olive in Chesterfield. They are looking for volunteers (8th grade and older only) between 8:15 and 2 p.m. on the 22nd. Contact Kathy Crown if you would like to serve the needs of area families on the 22nd by helping with the food distribution.
Circle needs donations of canned yams, cranberry sauce and other Thanksgiving staples as well as donations of caned goods and other non-perishable foods such as cereal, cake mixes, macaroni and cheese dinners and similar basic items. Please place donations in the box in the foyer.
