Blessing Box

Have you noticed our blessing box? It's like the  little library boxes, but with items of food and
basic necessities. Genius idea! The items below seem to be the most beneficial and needed.

Chief Boyardee’s canned products
(ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna etc.) Campbell’s Soups
Canned fruits (mixed, pineapple, peaches, pears) 
Tuna fish in water
Mac and Cheese
Toothpaste and Toothbrushes

You can donate these items by placing them in
the plastic containers (marked Blessing Box) just inside the front door of the Church.
 
The box frequently needs replenishment,
signifying that it, and all those who contribute, are serving the community. Thank you and may 
you know every day that you are a true blessing
to those around you and to your community.

Meals of Love

Matthew 11:28-30 - Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  

 

We are resurrecting our outreach to the Lower Cape Fear Life Care center (hospice) by providing Meals of Love (1 lunch per month - the last Wednesday of each month).

 

This involves two casseroles (any type), two sides (anything), dessert and miscellaneous items. Please see the link below to sign up for anything you feel you can provide. If everyone signs up a few times a year, we can easily provide this important meal. Just FYI - this meal is to feed the families of those who have a loved one at the hospice center. This service is an incredible convenience that allows them to stay within the facility throughout their stay. Anyone who has had a loved one at this facility can appreciate this convenience.  

Click on the link below to the spreadsheet for 2025. Plug your name into the slot that you prefer, i.e. casserole, side dish, dessert, etc. In addition to meals they can always use:

 

Water, Drinks, Juices Raman noodles Nabs, Crackers Cheese, Peanut Butter Pop Tarts, Cereals, Instant Grits, Oatmeal, breakfast bars Salt/Pepper, butter, dressings, mustard & Ketchup K-cups, coffee creamers, teas, hot chocolate Cookies, chips - single serve

 

Thank you for supporting this outreach program and thank you for all you do to support Holy Cross!
