2026 Thanksgiving Food Drive
On Tuesday, November 10th, the Monaca UMC Food Pantry will once again distribute everything needed for our patrons to have a Thanksgiving feast!
Anything you can contribute towards this ministry will be greatly appreciated!
The following items are needed:
- Boxed stuffing
- Cranberry sauce
- Canned yams
- Turkey gravy
- Pie crust mix
- Corn bread mix
- Boxed potatoes
- Evaporated milk
Monetary donations are also needed for the purchase of turkey breasts, frozen vegetables, and whipped cream. Please mark donations “Food Pantry.”
In addition to the Thanksgiving Food Drive, our regular pantry is low on cereal, canned fruit, and canned meats. All contributions are welcome!
Please have all donations in by Tuesday, November 3rd (Election Day), so the food pantry team can make final purchases and prepare the bags in time for the distribution.
The Thanksgiving food pantry distribution is free and open to any individuals and families living in Monaca and Center Township, but pre-registration is needed by Tuesday, November 3rd.
For more information, to register, or to volunteer, please call Vicki at (724) 774-7068 or the church office at (724) 775-6702.
