During the 40 days of Lent, St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus Council 7273 conducted a 40 Cans For Lent Program at St. Augustine’s Church. The Knights asked parishioners to bring food to church each week to benefit the Peru JCEO Food Shelf. A 1,000-pound goal was set.

Thanks to generous parishioners, this past Monday Council 7273 delivered the 1,234th pound of food to the Food Shelf.  In addition, because the 1,000-pound goal was achieved, the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council in New Haven, Connecticut will award the Peru Council $100 which the Council will donate to the Food Shelf.

Since 2012, the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council and local councils have collected and donated over $8.5 million and 14.7 million pounds of food for local food pantries, community food banks and soup kitchens.

Peru – The friendly people who participate in the Clinton County Nutrition Program’s meals at the St. Augustine’s Parish Center are #37 in the Peru Gazette photo series of people who make Peru a wonderful place to live. This past Friday (Good Friday) Site Manager Geri Maliniak assisted by volunteer Pat Condon served delicious macaroni and cheese accompanied by a sauce, bread, beverage and a scrumptious peanut butter cookie. While the meal is prepared at the central kitchen in Plattsburgh, it tasted like home cooking at its best. About twelve local residents attended on Friday and seventeen more meals were being delivered to homebound seniors.  The welcome mat is always out to any senior who would like to attend.

Meals are served Monday through Friday at 11:45 AM. Monthly menus are published in the Senior Sentinel. The program is designed for seniors age 60 and above. A $3.00 donation is appropriate, though not required. Younger guests may attend but at a $8 rate. The laughter, fun and new friends are free of charge.

The menu for this week includes goulash with green beans; turkey patties with baked beans and a vegetable; tuna salad accompanied by a salad and lemon mousse; roast pork with gravy, mashed potatoes and apple crisp; and manicotti with fresh vegetables, bread and fresh fruit.

Call 518-420-4184 for information or to make a reservation.
