Helping in the Community

The ECS Food Bank operates out of St-Andrews Church is still operating but could use some help with donations of food distributed to the needy in St-Lambert and Ville Lemoyne.  At the moment Anita and Reverend Barry are filling the needs as best they can with a few other helpers. As the buildings are closed at this time, they are not receiving food directly from our churches in St-Lambert.  At your discretion and always with safety in mind first, here is how they would like you to help.

Here are items that they need:

(Not Costco sizes as many of the recipients are single and the majority are men, living alone and do not cook)

canned vegetables

canned fruit/applesauce

peanut butter (not large size)

loaves of bread (they can freeze them)

canned meals

frozen meals (already to go)

They have volunteer drivers (who live under the same roof) and shoppers who go monthly, but the stores right now are not allowing stalking up of quantities, which is why they need extra assistance at this time. If you can help, please call the church at (450) 671-1862 or the Presbytery at (450) 923-0794 and leave a message.

Donations should be brought on Thursday and/or Friday between 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm to the side door of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (corner Green and Birch). It is the door that has a small porch (overhang). Please ring the bell, leave the food on the stoop and then social distance. Anita and/or Barry will retrieve the food. Each delivery of food to the recipients includes a pamphlet and card that Anita produced with a message saying that ‘this food is being delivered by volunteers and is from our 5 ecumenical churches with love’. Please spread the word to our parishioners who are able to shop and, from time to time, may be able to pick-up one or two more items. Or donate (indicate ECS Food Bank) in care of St-Barnabas on-line or via Canada Post

ECS Foodbank is also in need of plastic bags: to deliver food to the needy in our community.  Please put any plastic bags you can donate in the bin out under the porch at 496 Birch, between 10am - 5pm, on Thursdays & Fridays, for the next 2 weeks: May 28-29 and June 4-5. Your help will be very much appreciated!
