Food Drive
SNAP benefits help feed tens of millions of Americans, which are not being delivered this month. To help alleviate this need SECS is collecting food and money to donate to Wesley Food Pantry. For monetary donations Venmo @ls_phillips, please note in your payment that it’s for the food drive! You can help our most vulnerable neighbors by bringing donations to our next meeting. If you or someone you know could benefit from food assistance, find information on local sources below.
