St. John’s Happenings
News from the Centre Street Food Pantry: Headed to the Market? A variety of soups and canned fruit is very much in demand! Other ideas: baking items and condiments to cook with. Please continue to leave your donations on the right side bench in the long hall – along with spreading the word about the Pantry! Thank you to Marjorie Carey for delivering St. John’s donations!
