This September, Crawford’s Food Ministries will receive $1 for every specially marked $11.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet sold at our local Stop & Shop, 695 Main Street, Winchester MA.
Ending food insecurity is an important mission of Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church whose members serve dinner regularly at The Dwelling Place in Woburn, and have been longtime supporters of the food pantry run by the Council of Social Concern. We opened our first micro pantry (the first in Winchester) in June 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the challenges it created for both those in need and the organizations that had to limit their assistance in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. An Eagle Scout project completed by Kenny Xu (Troop 507) provided a sizable expansion of the pantry.
Funds raised through donations and programs like Bloomin’ 4 Good help fill the gaps in our missions readiness, sometimes buying items for the food pantry and other times helping to purchase meals for the guests of the dwelling place (though most of the time, the meals are home-cooked with love).
