My Stake Center has a food drive on right now for Community Food Bank. Here is what is requested for us to put in each individual box:
1 (5 oz) bx stuffing; 1 pkg gravy; 2 lbs rice; 2 lbs pinto beans; 1 bx instant potatoes; 2 bx mac ‘n cheese; 2 (15 oz) cans of green beans; 2 (5 oz) cans fruit cocktail; and 1 cake mix
The LDS Church is busy world-wide helping non members so I am perplexed why you posted this thing. I am waiting for an apology . . .
Source?
My lds family says that when members are "helped" they are required to pay back the "charity".
Didn't you say just a few posts back that lds "help" people all year? So why the "food drive" for Thanksgiving? You disparaged Christian Churches that have feasts for the community on Thanksgiving, as I recall. Waiting for an apology.
It may be a while; as there are a LOT of PRESBYTERIANs ahead of you.
As are the Christian Churches....from your founder, Joe Smith.
At the ward level we are collecting food for Christmas hampers to the poor, and we are a big partner in a local community project to make and ship plastic bed mats to Haiti for use in hospitals and shelters. At the stake level we do most of the work at a local farm where all the crop is sold to support the care of developmentally challenged adults.
