Food Drive for Ken Jackson Food Closet - RUNNING LOW

Your help is still needed! We continue to serve many people each week. Please consider dropping off non-perishable food items in the rear of the church Monday-Friday 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Needed items are below.  You can also donate to the Joy Fund that supports this ministry HERE or by using text to give HERE. If you have questions, please contact the Church Office at 703-978-3500 or churchoffice@stmatthewsumc.org.

You can also order food from our Amazon wish list and have it delivered.

Our Amazon wish list or Walmart wish list makes donating to the food closet easy. Check out our Amazon Wish List here: http://bit.ly/kenjacksonfoodcloset. We also have a Walmart Wish list here. You can order online and have the food delivered to the church at St. Matthew’s UMC, 8617 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA 22003
