The Women’s Ministry is collecting 1-pound bags of beans and rice for TABLE, Inc. This drive will end Sunday, December 16th. TABLE, Inc. now feeds more than 700 school-aged children in the Chapel Hill – Carrboro community weekly. Please help the Women’s Ministry reach its goal of 500 pounds of beans and rice as they continue to help eliminate childhood hunger.

As of Sunday, December 2nd we had donated 62 bags of beans and rice. Alright, St. Paul Members and Friends, you need to donate 432 more bags. Come on, I know you have been to a Walmart, Target, Dollar General, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Sam’s Club or Costco in the last month. All of them have bags at reasonable price. Let’s Full Up the Baskets this Sunday!!!
