We host Red Cross Blood Drives almost monthly. Call 800-733-2767 to schedule an appointment or use your Blood Donor app to find our next Blood Drive.
Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ calls for us to live in love and service to others. We are called to help others, to feed the hungry and care for those in need. We share our food and clothing with those who need it.
We have regular Food Drives at the Madison Stop & Shop. Our next one is on Saturday, October 12, from 9:00-3:00 PM. Contact us, if you want to help. All training is provided. All are welcome to join us as we serve our community.
WE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES IN GUILFORD, MADISON, KILLINGWORTH AND CLINTON:
(1) Last year, these Shoreline Food Pantries distributed over one million pounds of food. They served about 10,000 regular families, and many occasional recipients. The need here is greater than you think. According to recent studies, about 10% of families along the Shoreline suffer from food insecurity. The latest reports are that the demand for food is very high.
(2) Please remember our Food Pantries rely totally on local donations. They receive no government help or assistance. They need our support.
(3) Your gift of food will help us to feed the hungry in our own area. We collect food donations year-round and have special Food Drives several times a year.
(4) Suggested Food Items Include: Soup, Pasta & Sauce, Rice, Juice, Flour & Sugar, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Salad Dressing, Cookies, Coffee, Tea & Cocoa, Chili & Beans, Packaged Meals, Canned Vegetables & Fruit, Cereal, Canned Meat & Fish.
(5) Other Suggested Household Items: Pet Food, Soap, Shampoo, Cleaning Supplies, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Mouthwash, Laundry Detergent, Trash Bags, Paper Plates, Paper Towels, Napkins, Toilet Paper.

USED CLOTHING COLLECTION: We collect pants, shirts, socks, sports uniforms, dresses, skirts, blouses, shoes, sneakers, coats, belts, jackets, sweaters, purses, handbags, linens, blankets, quilts, drapes, curtains, hats, gloves, caps, towels, bed sheets, stuffed animals and other used clothing items.
(1) Every item donated is used to help the poor and needy in the US and around the world. The service organization we work with, St. Pauly Textile, coordinates with national and international agencies to distribute used clothing to those in need. They also help with disaster relief efforts which require large amounts of donated items.
(2) For example, people recovering from major disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, and earthquakes have lost their homes and possessions. They will need clothing and other related items as they recover and rebuild their communities. It is not possible to go out and buy all new clothing for all those effected. Here, our Used Clothing Collection can make a real difference in helping those in need.
(3) Our Collection Shed is well-known in our community, and we have many repeat donors. Each day, dozens of people drive up to make a donation. We are currently averaging about 5,500 pounds of donations per month.
(4) In the USA, about 85% of used clothing ends up in a landfill. Most people just throw away these usable clothing items. Our Clothing Shed allows people in our community to recycle and put their used clothing to work in helping someone in need.
