Cherry St. Mission Thanksgiving Food Drive
As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, the Deacons of CTW and the Living Word Youth will be hosting a food drive for the Cherry St. Mission from October 14th-28th. This is a small way to bless others, as the LORD has richly blessed us and as such, this is another opportunity in which to serve beyond our tithing and benevolence offerings. Cherry St. will gladly accept all kinds of foods: canned, non-perishable, perishable and even foods that need to be refrigerated. Food can be dropped off at the church during Sunday mornings or Monday through Saturday from 10 am till 7 pm at the Divine Nutrition Store (5950 Airport Hwy, Toledo, OH 43615) owned by Mario Dominguez. Volunteers from the Living Word Youth will go and serve at the Cherry St. Mission by sorting and packing food that comes in. If you have food that is perishable, or that needs to be refrigerated please contact Hunter Turner @ 419-490-6865.
