Blue Barrel Sunday is October 18

Our Blue Barrels need some extra love this month! Donations have been lower than usual, while the number of families turning to our food pantry for help remains high.

Last year alone, St. Luke provided food to 8,823 households—that’s an average of 735 households every month. Even a few cans in a Blue Barrel Bag can make a difference.

October’s Most-Needed Items

This month, we’re stocking up on canned vegetables, especially:

• Canned green beans
• Canned corn
• Canned peas
• Canned carrots
• Canned mixed vegetables
• Canned spinach
• Canned collard greens
• Canned turnip greens
• Canned mustard greens
• Canned potatoes

Pick up a Blue Barrel Bag, add a few of these items while you’re grocery shopping, and return it to one of the blue barrels on Blue Barrel Sunday, October 18.

Financial gifts are also greatly appreciated and help us purchase food when additional needs arise.
