Middletown Valley Food Bank
Middletown Valley Food Bank (MVFB) has particular needs for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, toiletries, and any / all food stuffs. Our Outreach Team has extended a challenge to donate 60 food & toiletry items each month in 2026. For the month of September, we gave 135 items, 78 rolls of toilet paper, 15 rolls of paper towels, 9 boxes of tissues and 19 boxes of Ziploc bags! We have exceeded our goal every month this year – let’s keep it going! Thank you for offering these gifts of care for our community.

This informal group is held at 9:00 AM in the Memorial Hall. It is open to everyone and all are welcome. Come and share a donut and coffee as we discuss books about our faith. The book being discussed next is An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor.
