QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If you want to convince others of the

value of Christianity - live it!”

FOOD PANTRIES REMAIN OPEN BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

During this time of closures and social distancing we have established a protocol allowing us to continue providing pantry essentials to those in need. Both

pantries are open for business by appointment only. Pantry appointments and pickup times are

Monday - Friday, 9 am - 5 pm. As needs run high, supplies run low. We would like to ask as a friend of

SVdP that you participate in our #foodpantrychallenge. Just think, if you donate $10 then either tag on social media or challenge 3 friends to do the same, we will generate enough funds to not only keep the pantries

open during this dangerous time, but also continue with our mission to provide healthy food choices to our clients.

Donations can be made on our website at www.svdpdsm.org. If you know someone in need, appointments can be scheduled by calling these numbers - 1426 6th Avenue: 515-282-8327, Ext. 14 520 SW Army Post Road: 515-282-8328, Ext. 30

It is because of friends like you that we have been able to continue serving clients during this stressful time,

and we are grateful for your continued support. Can we count on you?

In the face of confusion and concern Impart to us the calm of Your presence.

In You allow us to find hope and healing.

Be with those who serve the sick and

give them Your caring hand.

Be with those who lead and give them Your spirit of wisdom.

Be with those who have fallen ill and

give them Your comforting heart.

Wrap Your arms around our world and hold us in Your love.

serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your name. Amen.
