Over the next five weeks Greer Community Ministries is asking for donations of the Fabulous Five – the essential items in each food order sent out.
“Donations of canned fruits and vegetables are more consistent, and we seldom have to make an emergency grocery store run for them,” said Cindy Simpler, GCM executive director. “We have a more difficult time keeping sufficient quantities of the “Fab Five” available for the families we serve.”
Greer Community Ministries sends out around 200 food orders per month.
“When you see a featured item of the week, please add it to your grocery list. We have one supporter who buys one for each of their grandchildren as a way of both honoring them and teaching them the importance of helping others. GCM needs your help to provide good nutrition to every family we serve,” Simpler said.
• Week 1: Boxed cereal (12.25 oz. boxes)
• Week 2: Oatmeal (16 oz. container or 10-pack individual servings)
• Week 3: Grits (18 oz. container or 10-pack individual servings)
• Week 4: Beef stew (20 oz. cans)
• Week 5: Spaghetti sauce (24 oz. cans or jars)
Bring donations to GCM, 738 S. Line Street Extension between 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
