Sandwich Collection Resumes

The Social Action Committee is resuming the monthly sandwich collection in September, after it being on hold since last year due to Covid-19. This much needed project provides food for the homeless who do not frequent shelters. The sandwiches are distributed by ImmaCare in Hartford.  The need is great, but thanks to contributions from volunteer “sandwich makers,” ImmaCare can provide help and comfort to these people. Making sandwiches is a good way to involve younger family members in this ministry.

• Any type of bread may be used.
• Two (2) slices of meat (such as ham, bologna, salami) & a slice of cheese per sandwich
• About one pound of meat is needed for a loaf of bread. You can vary the ingredients if you don’t have enough of one kind to finish the loaf.
• Please DO NOT put condiments or butter on the bread.
• Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches are also very popular.
• Sandwiches are individually wrapped, put back in the bread wrapper, twist-tied, and placed in the box in the church foyer.

The following are the dates for the rest of 2021 and through August 2022. You may wish to post this schedule on your refrigerator or bulletin board as a reminder.

HOMELESS BAGS

We are currently seeking donations of hats, mittens/gloves, or socks for bags we will be putting together for the homeless.  Please consider making a donation in these upcoming months.  There is a blue bin in the front vestibule of the church.

We are also accepting monetary donations.  We have a donor who will match any monetary donation for a total of $2,500. Any donations you make will be doubled!  Please consider donating any amount.  Please make checks payable to: Christ the King Social Action Committee, with ‘Homeless bags’ in the memo.  Thank you for your continued generosity.  For more information on how to get involved, please contact Nora Uricchio / 860-830-5989  [email protected] or Daisy Trahan / [email protected]
