For the month of August, Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church will be helping Bath Area Food Bank by collecting cleaning supplies, paper products, canned vegetables and crackers. There is a special request for canned corn, canned string beans, chicken noodle soup and peanut butter. There is also an ongoing need for ramen noodles. Donations for the food bank can be dropped off in the bins in fellowship hall or the upstairs gathering area.

They are no longer accepting Jell-O or pudding.
