The menu is pork roast, vegetarian baked beans, cornbread, a variety of salads, and dinners at Durham are never complete without our luscious strawberry shortcake.
The LACO Food Pantry serves hundreds of people every month, people who otherwise cannot afford to put enough food on the table for their families. Donations of food and money are vital for the success of the Food Pantry. Many people in our community depend on it and the numbers of those in need have increased greatly over the last two years and continue to rise. Come join us for a delicious meal while helping LACO help so many others.

People asking Lisbon Area Christian Outreach (LACO) asking Food Pantry for help has doubled this year. At the same time, sources of food donations are harder to find. Durham Meeting’s Peace and Social Concerns Committee is taking on this need as one of its high priorities. We hope each month to fill a box to overflowing with food for to LACO, concentrating on a couple of items. The items for April are tuna fish, peanut butter and pasta. Our goal is to fill our box to overflowing by Easter Sunday. Please bring in your donations to help us meet our goal. A big “Thank You” to the Meeting for reaching our goal in February with a huge amount of flour and sugar.
Thank You!
