"Be of one heart, and regard one another with charity."

The East Coast Fellowship is coordinating with the Food Bank in Cherokee, North Carolina to serve the Eastern Cherokee Tribe. In coordinating with them, they have requested we donate the following items.

1. Food - We are specifically donating non-perishable items, like canned food. Any type of food that is non-perishable is accepted.

2. Toys - We will be helping to donate new toys for Cherokee children from single-parent homes. Please do NOT spend more than $40 on any given toy.

3. Toiletries - We will be donating various types of toiletries needed, including, but not limited to, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, etc.

4. Money - If you wish to participate, but find bringing or sending any items to be difficult, please consider donating money instead. A team of individuals within the East Coast Fellowship will go out and purchase items using donated money on Friday, October 14th. 

The Food Bank of Cherokee, North Carolina, are extremely grateful for any and all donations. The East Coast Fellowship would love to be able to aid these people in any way we can.

Remember the words of King Benjamin, for he said, “For the sake of these things which I have spoken unto you — that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God — I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants. And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order, for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength.” (Mosiah 2:6 RE)
