Mission June & July 2026
The Attleboro Interfaith Collaborative's Kids
Our May Mission Project was Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger, and Central Congregational was represented by Bill Bentley, who participated in the walk for his 21st year! The Mission Committee voted to make a $500 donation from the Committee’s Board Designated Funds, to be added to the generous support of our congregation. All told, donations in Bill’s name totaled over $2,000.
Our Mission project for June and July will be the Kids’ Summer Café, which is a program of the Attleboro Area Interfaith Collaborative. This program’s goal is to make nutritious lunches available to children of school age up to age 18 yrs throughout the summer. This food replaces the free or reduced-price lunch the children would normally receive during the school year. There are no registration or income guideline requirements. The Kids’ Summer Café helps to keep good nutrition available to children and helps to alleviate the burden on families to provide another meal per child during the summer months.
Specific dates and locations will be released as soon as we receive them. Usually the program begins in late June after local schools close for the summer.
Monetary Donationsare being accepted through June and July. Please include “Kids’ Café” on the memo line of your check or write it on your envelope. You can also drop off your donation at the church office during normal Tuesday and Thursday hours or mail it to the church.
Thank you for supporting families and children in need of nutritious meals this summer in our greater Attleboro area.

Please call first to be sure someone is in the office to receive your donations.
Thank you for your kindness and for thinking of those less fortunate during these times.
Many seniors supplement their fixed incomes by coming to the pantry for food assistance. Families living with food insecurity often need to visit the pantry to supplement their grocery budget. When donations are low, everyone gets less and sometimes the pantry shelves are bare. We can make a difference in the lives of people who live among us by simply picking up one food item (more if you are able) and dropping it off at church on Sundays or bring it to the church office during office hours. Thank you for your continued generosity.
Here are some suggested items...
- BREAKFAST Cold Cereals, Pop Tarts, Cereal Bars, Carnation Instant Breakfast, Muffin mixes, Non-Refrigerated juices including V8, and Juice Boxes, Parmalat Milk (in canned milk aisle).

- SNACKS Little Debbie Snack Cakes, granola bars, cookies, pretzels, chips, brownie mixes, cookie mixes in a pouch, pudding mixes and non-refrigerated cups, Jello, crackers such as Goldfish and Cheeze-It’s, Graham, and other snack crackers. Individual packets work best.
