Crisis Control Ministry relies on Knollwood’s Ingathering as one of their largest congregational donations of nonperishable food items each year. Our food drive is open to the community, and we invite everyone to fill bags of food for our community members experiencing food insecurity.

The increasing cost of food/gas and the changes in SNAP (“food stamps”) mean there are more families who face hunger in Forsyth County every day. As we celebrate God’s bounty to us this Thanksgiving, let us share that bounty with others. The Crisis Control truck will be in the Knollwood parking lot on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 1-3 PM to collect nonperishable food items from the community or church members. A list of suggested items to donate is below.

On Sunday, Nov. 22, bags of food can be dropped off starting at 9 AM at the front of the sanctuary, where individuals will be available to assist you, or you can bring them to the chancel area before worship. We will then work together to fill the Crisis Control truck after the worship service. Let’s exceed even our previous records for generosity in our response!
