The Italy Ministerial Alliance is gathering up its volunteers and rolling up its collective sleeves. On Saturday morning, Dec. 11, the Christian organization will deliver non-perishables, canned goods and a turkey to the needy citizens of Italy.

This is one of the main focuses of the IMA. The main source of food comes from reduced pricing at North Texas Food Bank; however, the food pantry strongly depends on local donations as well.

If you know of someone in need of some holiday food, please contact the office of Central Baptist Church at 972-483-7474. The recipient must live in Italy.

The IMA Food Pantry is regularly open the first Monday of every month, 5pm-8pm.
