The Foothill Unity Center is collecting food items to create Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets for the 1,200 families they serve. Please bring food items to Jordan Hall any Sunday. If you are donating a gift card make sure to bring it to the Church Office or drop in the mail slot on the office door. Here is what they need: $20-$25 grocery store gift cards, cake mixes, canned yams, corn muffin mix, cranberry sauce, gravy packets, jello, pudding, marshallows, and stuffing. Pies, whole chickens, and Cornish hens need to be delivered directly to the center at 790 Chestnut Avenue, Monrovia. Thanks for your generous giving to our neighbors in need!
