CWL’s Lenten Almsgiving Initiative

Our Lenten almsgiving initiative has begun and will take place over 5 weekends, from February 25-26 to March 25-26.

Each weekend will focus on a different need, based on specific items requested by the Food Bank. The following is a guide to “What’s on the Menu”. We humbly request that each family consider bringing one item from the list each weekend and we will deliver your contributions to the Fare Share Food Bank Oakville throughout Lent.

Feb 25/26 – Breakfast: cereal, oatmeal, jam (not homemade), tea, coffee, sugar, etc.

Mar 4/5 – Lunch: chunky soup, canned tomatoes, pasta sauce, crackers, etc.

Mar 11/12 – Suppertime: canned salmon, tuna, chicken, other meats, canned beans, etc.

Mar 18/19 – Desserts: canned fruit, cookies, fruit cups, dried fruit strips, etc.

Mar 25/26 – Good Morning/ Good Night: toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, etc.

Your donation of these much-needed items will be greatly appreciated by those who rely on Fare Share Food Bank to get them through these difficult times. Thank you for joining your CWL in this Lenten initiative.
