Emmanuel United Church shall be a caring, welcoming faith community, nurturing spiritual life and sharing God's love and grace as experienced in Jesus Christ. 

​A request from Pam Zygmont and Rev. Roni 
                                      We are trying to keep our Food Cupboard Open As Many People Rely on Our Help:
Please help us by purchasing the following items: cereal, bags of oatmeal, powered and canned milk, canned fruit and meat (ham, tuna, salmon) and mashed potatoes and peanut butter. We think that individuals will have a better chance of picking up a few items rather than us as a group trying to shop for flats of anything due to limitations of items. Will take what we can get. 
               Please drop off on Saturday 3:30 pm-6:30 pm, Sunday 10:30 am to 11:30 am, Thursdays 9:00 am to 10:00am. 
                                   Help us to continue to provide good food to families who need it in West Ferris.
                                                                        Thanks for your encouragement and support.
