When donating
Grocery Bags
Packing Tips
Store plastic
grocery bags,
the ones we often take our
groceries in to our car,
inside a bigger brown grocery bag.
After
you empty a plastic bag,
fold it in half lengthwise.
Then place them inside the paper bag,
with the bottom of the plastic bag touching the
bottom of the paper bag.
In
this way,
the handles of each plastic bag
will be sitting above the top of the
paper bag,
and can be easily grabbed
by the workers
in the food pantry.
Please do NOT
wad them up or
stuff them into
another plastic bag.
It's harder
for the Food Pantry
workers to retrieve
the bags quickly.
The food pantry
is ALWAYS
in need of
both the plastic bags
and the paper bags
we get from the grocery store.
Let's help
and recycle those bags!
You can store the paper bags
inside another paper bag in
much the same way you
store the plastic bags.
When the brown bags are full,
bring them to church this fall.
Peace & blessings,

Suggestion:
Ask your
grocer for
10, 15,
20 or more
plastic bags
when you
are checking
out at the
grocery!
They will
give them to
you!
We are happy
to take
bag donations
any time!
