Prepare a Dinner Box

Collect the items listed, ideally in a box roughly 12"x18" with a lid, and drop it off in the storage room across the hall from Room 111 on or before Nov. 17.  

If you are part of a group bringing items for a box, please wait to bring the box to church until it has been completely filled. 

Load the Truck

Ten strong backs are needed Saturday morning, Nov. 23, to help load dinner boxes into trucks at Parkside at 8am sharp!  Please call Tracy if you can help with this stage. (330-562-0721)

Help Distribute the Meals

Join us on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 10am-12pm, at Scranton Road Bible Church for the distribution.  No need to call, just meet at: Scranton Road Bible Church, 3095 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44143.

Money for a Turkey
