Canned and Boxed Food Donations
When collecting foods for the local food pantry we can keep in mind the homeless by realizing that they don’t have anywhere to cook so donating food items that are ready-to-eat but will also last is helpful. At Arlington Community Church we collect boxed and canned foods each week and deliver them to Dutchess Outreach’s on The Veteran's of Dutchess County food pantries. With donated foods, you can look for sales! Please remember, if bringing box or canned food from your home cabinets they must be unopened and not expired.

• peanut butter
• jelly
• cup noodles
• instant coffee packets or small jars
• boxed cereal
• granola bars and breakfast bars
• box instant oatmeal packets
• dried fruits
• crackers and biscuits
• canned tuna or meats
• canned soups and stews (pop top lids are best)
• canned vegetables and fruits (with pop top lids are best)

Love, INC
Personal care items cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits (food stamps) and are rarely available at food pantries. We are collecting items to restock the Love INC pantry shelves. Get involved today by simply going shopping and then bring one of the below items to church and put it in the basket provided. Questions? See Ruth Zoodsma.

School Supply Drive for A.S. May
We collect school supplies and stuff backpacks starting in August for a September delivery to A S May Elementary for families that could use some help with the beginning of the school year costs for school supplies

Fall Arlington Street Fair
We have a booth and ministry presence at this very busy yearly community street fair on Raymond Avenue directly in front of our church.

Worship and Fellowship Meal 6:00-7:30pm
We meet every Wednesday at 6:00pm for a time of singing and a Bible message followed by a fellowship meal. You do not need to be a member of the church to come worship and have a meal. There is always a dessert and hot beverages. Come and eat and relax as we sup together. All are welcomed.
