Fill Pathways Shelves in July

University Baptist Church is once again collecting food and household items for our friends at Bloomington Pathways during the month of July. For many years, our congregation has faithfully supported this important local ministry, and we'd love to make this month's collection our biggest yet. Our challenge? Beat 103 pounds of donations—the total we collected in May! (We're still waiting to hear June's final total.)

Each month, Bloomington Pathways provides groceries, hygiene products, and household essentials to individuals and families in our community. Thanks to the faithful coordination of Jen Cook, UBC has been a regular partner in this ministry for many years. Thank you, Jen, for helping keep this important outreach going!

We've already delivered our June donations, and now it's time to begin collecting again for our July delivery. The current pantry needs include everyday food staples like broth, pasta sauces, tortillas, canned beans, potatoes, fresh or canned vegetables, snack foods, helper meals, bread, cooking oil, sugar, and condiments, along with hygiene and cleaning items such as body wash, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, bleach, mouthwash, razors, and more. Bloomington Pathways has also asked supporters to consider gluten-free and dairy-free options whenever possible to better serve neighbors with dietary needs.

Every can, every bottle, every bag, and every roll makes a difference. Thank you for helping University Baptist Church continue sharing God's love in practical ways throughout our community.
