Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself; if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
James 2:15-17

Crossroads Bible Church Food Drive
Benefiting Christian Community Action of Lewisville

We will be conducting a fall food drive through the month of September benefiting Christian Community Action. CCA operates a medium-sized, fully stocked grocery store for low-income families in the 46 communities CCA serves. The pantry assists over 550 families each week and is the primary and first response to the financial challenges presented by families in distress. Clients of CCA are counseled to reserve household income for rent, utilities, childcare, health needs and other basics of life. Their goal is to provide for 65% of the food needs of the impoverished citizens in our community. Refer to the list below for specific items desired during the respective week listed. Bring them to church during the week of or on the Sunday listed and place in the donation boxes in the entrance foyer. Donations of any items will be accepted all month. Items listed below are critical CCA pantry needs and priority focus items.

Engage your neighbors:
Starting the last week of August and for the entire month of September, grocery bags (donated by Kroger) will be in the church entrances. We ask that you take a couple bags and solicit your neighbors participation. This is a great way to meet your neighbors as well as have them participate in a community need.
