FOOD DRIVE - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
MANNA MINISTRIES, a collaboration of Leland area churches and civic groups is conducting a food collection drive. All food collected will be distributed to hungry Leland area families in conjunction with Brunswick Family Assistance. The increasing costs of groceries, gas and utilities, as well as fallout from the housing crisis and economic slowdown, have caused a crisis in many families ability to provide adequate, nutritious food for their family. Every food donation helps in the fight against hunger no matter how small or large.
