The
Village of Worth Haunt Against Hunger is
an annual
event where residents, adults and children alike, band together for a
good cause and a hauntingly good time. The goal is to gather food and
promote the needs of our local Food Pantry located at our own United
Methodist Church. This is not a door-to-door food drive. Participants
collect food prior and bring it to the event.
The event is organized by Officer Anthony Ritz of the Worth Police Department
and Webmaster for the Village of Worth. eMail

| The
United Methodist Church is host to our local
Worth Food Pantry. The need for the food pantry has increased
in today’s difficult times. Subsequently their
need for supplies has also increased. This event’s
goal is to raise awareness and donations for the Food
Pantry. We are primarily looking to accept canned or
nonperishable foods. In addition, for the holidays,
the pantry is requesting for items for Thanksgiving and
Christmas such as side dishes, stuffing mixes, mashed
potatoes, jellos, sweet potatoes, cranberries, gravy,
cake mixes and frostings. They are also asking for personal
care items like shampoo, conditioner, soap, shavers,
shaving cream, deodorant, tampons, pads, toothbrushes,
toothpaste, diapers, wipes, baby shampoos / soaps. Food
may be brought to this event or dropped off prior in
the Village Hall. This is not a door to door collection
event. Anyone
wishing to make food donations to the Worth Food Pantry
can do so by contacting the Methodist Church, dropping
it off in the Village Hall or email me to arrange a pick
up at aritz@villageofworth.com |
