It’s HARVEST TIME at the JEFFERSON COMMUNITY GARDEN

The Garden is located just north of Jefferson United Methodist Church.

It is open 24/7 for picking for anyone in the community who does not have their own

garden. Stop by and take a look at the “ready for harvest” sign. Feel free to pick just

what you can use. Be respectful—be healthy—teach your children—enjoy!!!

Jefferson Community Food Pantry……. Need food or know someone who does?? come on into the Pantry between 3pm and 6pm

on a Wednesday.

Have you been thinking you’d like to be a part of helping 300 kids and adults in

Jefferson, Millersburg, Scio, Dever-Conner, and Talbot each month?

Volunteer once a month to work in the Pantry—call 541-327-1948 to learn more about

a variety of options.

Send a check to Jefferson Community Food Pantry c/o JUMC—PO Box 76, Jefferson,

OR 97352 with “Pantry” in the by-line. ANY amount helps--$10 buys 100 lbs of

food!

Become a sustaining Donor by committing to a monthly contribution to the Pantry in

any amount. Ask your bank to set up a Bill Pay to automatically transfer your

donation of any amount each month from your Checking Account to JCFP/JUMC

Operational Fund Account—Routing #123205054. Your direct authorization will

remain in effect until you notify your Bank and Pantry that you wish to change.

Still curious about the Pantry? Call 541-327-1948 to schedule a tour for you or your

service group or club any time. We’d love to show you what it’s all about.
