Along with the fun, our church family brought in canned soup and monetary donations to help neighbors in need. All contributions will be shared between St. Joseph’s Food Pantry in Camillus and the Brown UMC Food Pantry on the West Side. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously. Your kindness makes a real difference in our community.  Mike B, Betty B, Shelley DS, and Dave S with the donations for favorite teams. Looks like an even split!
