Emergency Food Bags

Description

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!
