Help others by packing Food Bags!
Even though we don't offer food at Mercy Mall we do like to keep a few emergency food items on hand when someone needs it. That's where YOU come in!
Gather a few friends, your church group, youth organization or if you need some community service hours and assemble a few emergency food bags!
We meet about 50 individuals and families each week and maybe 5 a week could use a snack or something to help tide them over before a meal. Or maybe this will help them make it a few moments until they feel better.
Simple things are best-here's a few things to include in your bag:
- Tuna packet (no can)
- Packs of crackers
- Granola bars
- Small water bottle or Juice box
- Fruit leather
- Raisins
- Napkin/hand wipe
- Candy/Mints
- other individually wrapped snacks
Put all that into a gallon size plastic storage bag!
Wanna take it up a notch?
Add a sweet note of encouragement to each bag you make! This is a great way to just say something simple like:
YOU ARE LOVED!
