Abolish Poverty-End Suffering - Doorstep Food Pantry
Souper Bowl Sunday is February 2nd! Just around the corner! On this weekend we ask our member congregations to collect soup and crackers to help restock our food pantry. A can of soup can be a meal, and in the past, with a successful collection, we have had soup and crackers to last us into the summer months! Please remember Doorstep when you go grocery shopping, and pick up a few items for your neighbors in need.
Topeka Community of Christ supports the Doorstep Food Pantry by collecting non-perishable foods (dry goods/can goods) on an ongoing basis. There is a collection box for this purpose in the front foyer of the church. For additional information regarding how you can assist Doorstep, please contact Ruth Van Fossen.
