Food for Thought Food for Thought is Trinity’s year-round food drive to feed the hungry in our community. The first Sunday of each month we collect non-perishable food to be sent alternately to Saint Paul’s and Holmes Street Methodist Church’s food pantries. Recipients of our food donations are first screened by Food Line, an IMS agency, and then referred to the church food pantries. There, they receive an amount of food to feed the number of people in their families for four days.  We have volunteers from Trinity working in the pantry at St. Paul’s. As a result of our participation with St. Paul’s, they have been able to be open an extra day to serve those in need. This is a list of suggestions provided by St. Paul’s Methodist Church’s food pantry. This will feed a family of four for four days: 1 can of spaghetti sauce                                1 pkg. of pasta 2 cans of beef stew                                        2 cans of tuna or salmon or chili 2 cans of Spam                                             3 cans of green beans  3 cans of corn                                               3 cans of peas 1 can of pork and beans                                 1 16oz. pkg. of dried beans  1 16 oz. pkg. of rice                                       2 or 3 cans of fruit 1 box of powdered milk/canned milk                1 box of instant potatoes 1 can of mixed vegetables                              4 cans or pkgs. of soup 1 box of cereal                                              1 medium-size jar of p-nut butter 1 large can of fruit juice                                  1 box of saltines 2 pkgs. of Jello                                              2 pkgs. of pudding 1 bag of all-purpose flour                                1 bag of corn meal Cookies                                                        1 box of cake mix Jelly                                                             Baby food Diapers                                                         Candy The food pantry at St. Paul's United Methodist Church needs to be stocked with soup, medium-size peanut butter, corn, macaroni and cheese, and Jell-o.
