Merton Collection Demand for the Merton Center’s food resources continues unabated during the Covid-19 crisis. Since the dining hall continues to be closed, every weekday the Center distributes hundreds of meals-to-go (breakfast and lunch) and the food pantry is open every other Wednesday. Our monthly food collection will begin on Sunday, February 21 through Wednesday, February 24. Greatest needs are:  bottled water individual-size apple sauce cereal/granola/power bars Rice Krispie treats small packets of cookies Baskets will be available on the back porch of the rectory to receive your gifts. Thank you for your faithful generosity, especially at this time.
