Food Bank Sunday
 |
Fairlawn
supports the Lansing Food Bank on the last
Sunday of every month
with non-perishable food items.
Food items
can be left at the back of the Sanctuary.
Note:
Funds are currently very low for the purchase of items. Cash donations marked
accordingly can be placed on the offering plate.
Please bring food donations to worship the last
Sunday of each month.
The food bank is always in need of funds to purchase items for the Food Bank. Please
consider making a monetary donation. Cheques should be made
out to Fairlawn Avenue
United Church and clearly marked for the Food Bank.

Location of Lansing Food Bank --
Please note:
The site at Lansing is about to start a renovation.
As of the 1st of October 2011, the food bank is moving to portable
buildings on the property of the Peoples Church 374 Sheppard East.
The present sanctuary will remain, including the rooms underneath and
services will continue there during that time. The Church office is
going to be located in the Narthex of the church while this 2 year
renovation is in progress. |
