40 Items for Lent

We are excited to announce that St Luke’s Social Ministry will be supporting the Maine Township Food Pantry again this year during the Lenten season. This annual event has been a wonderful opportunity to help feed our local neighbors in the Maine Township Northwest Suburbs. The Food Pantry feeds over 300 families each month and the need increases every month.

Something to think about when you are gathering your 40 Items for Lent.  SNAP (Food Stamps) Emergency Allotments ended February 28, 2023. The Emergency Allotments–an additional issuance of a minimum allotment of $95 to each household’s monthly benefits–were added in April 2020 to help manage food insecurity due to the COVID pandemic.

Place your donations in the Collection Box in the Atrium any time. Food donations will be collected on Palm Sunday, April 2, in front of the church. Questions? Please contact Todd Raeder.
