We are now collecting food for Koinonia Food Baskets (for Thanksgiving and Christmas). Any donation you make will be greatly appreciated as without help from you, a family in your community might not be able to enjoy that special holiday meal. A list of the food needed is below and sign-up sheets are in Cokesbury (or if prefer, you can send Suzanne Ackley an email). Donations are due by Sunday, November 24 for the Thanksgiving baskets and Sunday, December 15 for the Christmas baskets.
