Food Pantry June 2021

 

Food pantry needs:

Food Insecurity is not much fun. 
When you have to spend your money on rent and gas and health insurance, even with a job paying $20 an hour, you are in the poverty level. 
Each week we get great donations from our providers and but still we often see:
- bad veggies
- cut up bread that makes a partial loaf.
- Too much celery. 
- Too many potatoes.
- Too much plain yogurt.
- Too much of the same thing. 
There is never enough milk, butter, cheese, eggs, meat or other items that don't often come into the food pantry.  For those of you wanting to donate food here is a list of always appreciated items:  healthy cooking oils, vinegar, spices, baking powder, healthy salad or sandwich fillings (cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.), tea, coffee, low sodium/low sugar snacks, fresh fruit that isn't apples or oranges, baby food, clothes detergent,  dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, soups, chili, yeast, sugar, flour, kids drinks and other specialized healthy snacks like hummus, dips and crackers.  
Let's try to make the lives of those who need to come to the pantry special in June.  Let's share our garden bounty, fresh fruit of the season, delicious berries, your favorite summer treats and we can make this summer special for families and their kids who are at home. 
A big thank you to those who donated last month!  You know who you are:)  

Many thanks,  
Mission Board

Finance Team Update August 2021

Image
  The Finance Team added a new member, Jackie Seymour and a consultant, Terrie Landini to our team in June. In late June the Finance team met and agreed upon a process to make recommendations as to the management, use and investment of our monies for the benefit of our Skyland Church community. We divided into two sub-groups to research opportunities and to develop rules and policies as well as recommendations for the use of the monies. We will keep in mind the history of the Milberry fund and the Endowment. One sub-group is tasked with research on the Milberry Fund and Endowment Investments. The other sub-group is researching opportunities for the Board Designated Reserves. The Finance Team will include ESG filters (Environmental, Social, Governance) while researching the investment opportunities.
