Food Donations for Tuesday, June 30, 2026
First Congregational Church
North Entrance Social Hall 10:45 – 11:45
We are using a combination of your donations and purchases with our financial donations to support families. Please consider making the following items priorities next week:
Eggs
Cutie oranges
Queso and mozzarella cheese
We would especially appreciate groups of people signing up to donate large bags of rice or beans that can be divided on Tuesday mornings. Please indicate that as an interest at WhatcomFCIS@gmail.com.
Thank you for your generous donations. You are making a difference across Whatcom County.
Fresh Food Donations from Your Garden
We had remarkable success last summer including fresh vegetables and fruits from your gardens. Please think about donating the extra that you must share. Any produce that is donated needs to be pre-cleaned please as we cannot do that at FCCB.
Supporting our immigrant neighbor is a community effort!
