Food can be dropped off Sunday morning and the church will be opened at 3:00pm for drop off but please drop off items no later than 4:00pm. PLEASE LABEL ALL FOOD WITH MEN'S I-HELP. Volunteers to help set up can arrive after 3:00pm. You can donate financially if you would prefer. We have staples we provide, like coffee, hot chocolate, napkins and foil. If you would prefer to donate money, we can use that too. Please put Men's I-HELP in the memo line of your check or please donate on this link: https://uucmp.org/connection-overview/donate/ and specify Men's I-HELP Meals.
