April’s Yellow Bag donations go to our long-standing partner, Covenant Presbyterian Church Food Bank. The congregation serves many families each month by providing food staples. Please consider donating nourishing foods such as canned meats, peanut butter, canned vegetables/fruits, pasta and sauce, and shelf-stable milk. We encourage you to donate items in cans, plastic jars, or boxes. Place your donated items by the coffee bar. If you prefer to give a monetary donation, put a check in the offering plate and note it is for Covenant Food Bank. We will ensure that it gets to the Food Bank.

Please note that checks must be delivered or postmarked on or by December 31 to claim a charitable contribution deduction in 2023, even if the check is predated to 2023 or was written in 2023. Checks that are written, mailed, and postmarked in 2023 will be deducted in 2023 though they are not received by the church until 2024. You can also give online in 2023. Do that early enough for it to clear our credit or debit processor in 2023. In addition, be sure to wait to file your tax return until after you’ve received your statement from the church.
