The Sewanee Civic Association is inviting individuals, local groups and businesses to help collect donations of non-food items for the Community Action Committee which will then oversee the distribution of these items to those in need in the area.

Non-food items may include such things as pet food, cleaning supplies, paper products, household supplies, detergent, diapers and other personal-care items.

The collection will augment the services provided by the CAC food pantry. Collect non-food items now through March 30 and deliver the items from 1–3 p.m. on March 31 to the CAC, located at 216 University Ave., Sewanee.

Individuals may also take their non-food donations from March 20-30 to donation bins located around the university campus, Taylor’s Mercantile, and Regions Bank in Sewanee.

For those who wish to make monetary donations, cash or checks are accepted through March 30 at Taylor’s Mercantile. Please make checks payable to the CAC.

Donations are also being accepted at the CAC office Monday through Friday from 9-11 a.m.

There is also an Amazon wish list from the Sewanee Community Chest for those who want to order non-food items to be delivered to the CAC.

The Amazon link is a.co/ec8cKHc. The address will be listed as Kerstin Beavers, Sewanee Community Chest, Sewanee, TN 37375.

The CAC is an outreach ministry of the Parish of St. Mark and St. Paul with generous support from the Sewanee Community Chest, other organizations and individuals across the Mountain.
