Community food drive update

Phylice Walton

Our Mission Committee of PebbleCreek Community Church is again partnering with local churches to provide holiday meals through Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank.

Throughout the year, Agua Fria assists with food and clothing for those in need. Thanksgiving and Christmas are an especially difficult time for these families and we need your help. Our goal for 2018 is 500 Thanksgiving meals and 800 Christmas meals. Our PebbleCreek Community has always been generous in providing food, volunteer time and donations. We believe this will be true again this year as you share your blessings with others.

Volunteer Opportunities

Donate food: Food collection containers will be placed in the Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse by the Pro Shop from November 1 to December 15.

Canned Foods: cranberry sauce, green beans, corn, chicken broth, gravy (turkey/chicken) and canned fruit
