DARBY MISSION
March 16th Food Giveaway Drive
Just a few more days to bring in your contributions to our Pasta Sauce drive. The deadline is Tuesday, March 15, to insure a timely delivery to the mission!
Darby Dinner
We are awaiting the date of our next sponsored Darby Dinner, but we already know what we’ll be serving… something with turkey breast!
These 11 turkey breasts were donated to us by the food folks at Centrella’s Deli & Italian Market in Havertown. We are grateful for the generosity!
PROJECT SHARE
Many thanks to those who are providing the weekly lunches to Project Share in the month of March. Two weeks down, three to go! If you have questions about the lunch program or would like to volunteer for future lunch prep, please contact Cassie (grammysqrd@gmail.com or 610-608-5440)
Our Current Drives:
- Apostle’s Cup Coffee – after purchasing some for yourself you can donate an extra bag to Project Share. $4 of every purchase goes directly to the Darby Mission to fund their various projects. You can help two of our Outreach partners with one purchase!
- Socks – socks, boots and gently used winter coats
- Soup – cans of hearty/chunky soups for the lunch program.
- Corks – we are collecting these for craft projects at Project Share and the Darby summer camps to build bird houses
- Girl Scout Cookies – sure it’s hard to part with them, but if you’re willing, we’ll take your donated cookies to Project Share to add to the other lunch goodies we’re supplying. This is the last week to purchase Girl Scout Cookies for 2022. Don’t miss out! See announcement below for Emma Gallagher’s cookie link!

+ FURNITURE DONATIONS FOR THE GODLY PLAYROOM
Are you thinking of Spring cleaning and want to repurpose some children’s furniture? Please consider a donation to CHA for the Godly Playroom.
