And hungry children in our community will be wishing that their stomachs would stop aching from hunger.<br />Having food to eat shouldn't be anyone's wish during the holidays. But the fact is that one in eight of our neighbors in Northeast Iowa is at risk of hunger right now. At the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, your donation helps feed families in crisis. The Food Bank distributes food directly to those in need through local agencies and programs including emergency food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens and elder care centers. Thanksgiving will be here soon and your help is urgently needed. At the food bank, they are able to take every $10 you donate and turn it into approximately 40 meals. Your donation will truly be a gift that matters for those in need.<br />A table will be set up near the office to collect money for the Food Bank. Each dollar makes a huge difference! Ask God to open your heart and be humbled by your wealth. May your deep sense of gratefulness encourage you to find generosity<br />and wonder in all aspects of your life.<br />&nbsp;<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.stpeterdenver.org/uploads/1/4/0/1/14013060/picture1_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Valentine's Day Care]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.stpeterdenver.org/announcements/valentines-day-care]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.stpeterdenver.org/announcements/valentines-day-care#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jan 2022 21:31:16 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.stpeterdenver.org/announcements/valentines-day-care</guid><description><![CDATA[Need a date night for Valentines Day or just a break from the kids.
