Ridglea volunteers will assist you in loading the items into transport vehicles and will drive the items to the collection point, the Rio Grande Valley Food Bank in South Texas, on July 24. Please note that all donated items must be new and only those items on the list will be accepted. They must be contained and labeled before being dropped off at Ridglea UMC.

Persons interested in information about the 39-hour training through Catholic Charities required to serve in that capacity should contact Kristen Martin, Volunteer Specialist for Catholic Charities at 817-413-3932. We will continue to be in communication and will publish needs as they develop. Thank you for being the Body of Christ to our brothers and sisters in need. Rev.
