Matthew 25 Ministry
CURRENT AND UPCOMING MATTHEW25 MINISTRY PROJECTS
It's not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, that truly measures our Thanksgiving.
Last week, we made two deliveries to Seeds of Hope and Somerton Interfaith. Both pantries appreciated the donations of vegetables, cheese, and soups, among other items.
It’s that time of year to reflect on our blessings. Soon, our tables will be filled with turkey, fixings, and pies, but many in our community face food insecurity and struggle to put meals on the table this November.
We are pleased to promote our Annual Turkey Drive! We will order and deliver turkeys to Seeds of Hope Food Pantry, Focus of North America (Philly), and Somerton Interfaith Food Bank. Please fill out the form below and mail it in. The cost is $35 per turkey. Donations can be made through Vanco by typing “Turkey Drive” under Matthew 25 or by check payable to Annunciation Church with “M25 Turkey Drive” in the memo. Frozen turkey donations are accepted after November 1st; place them in the church freezer. We cannot accept free turkey vouchers. Contact us at oceancitymom1@gmail.com for questions or to bring your own turkey.
We are teaming up with the Annunciation GOYAns for our Turkey Drive this year. Teens will collect dessert ingredients like flour, sugar, baking mixes, chocolate chips, pie crusts, fruit, and pumpkin fillings for donations to Seeds of Hope and Somerton food pantries. These help families bake holiday favorites. Please support our GOYAns.
Thank you so much for supporting us and being a part of feeding families this Thanksgiving.
