Reach Local is organizing a food drive for needy families in Newton. Due to the government shutdown, food stamps have been suspended for many families in our community.

If you are able, please bring non-perishable food items to Grace on Sunday morning, and Reach Local will distribute them to families in need.

Specific examples are:

• peanut butter and jelly

• spaghetti and sauce

• microwave mac and cheese

• soups
