Our Annual Food Drive will take place this March, rather than our usual month of February, at the request of the Marblehead Food Pantry. We are grateful for your support, both in donating needed food items and in helping transport the donations from the Church to the Parish Center, where they will be sorted. Paper bags with attached labels listing the requested items will be available soon in the back of the Church. If you are able to assist with carrying and sorting, please sign up on the sheets at the back of the church beginning February 28, or visit sosmarblehead.org and click the sign up link. You can also copy and paste this link. Thank you! https://m.signupgenius.com/ #!/showSignUp/5080A4FA8AC2EA6FA7-62383128-march
