Opportunities
Are you looking for an easy way to help support the Brown Bag Ministry? Suntrust currently has a program called "Our Checking, Your Cause". All you have to do is go into your local Suntrust office and open a free checking account before Aug 15, make a purchase with your debit card and then go to the Suntrust website (or visit your local branch) and complete a donation form and Suntrust will donate $100 to Brown Bag Ministry. It's really quite easy. I have already made my purchase and expect to receive the contribution by the end of May. For details, please visit the Suntrust Website or any local branch. Thank you for your support.
Do you shop at Lowes? The Brown Bag Ministry is now linked to Lowes Rewards S&H Greenpoints Program. All you have to do is call 888-537-8646 and tell them you want to donate your Greenpoints to BBM. Our number is 420250660531.

Monthly Needs:
Beginning in June, the Brown Bag Ministry is expanding its services to reach out to our neighbors in Siler City. With the recent closing of the chicken manufacturing plants, we have learned of a great need for help with groceries and household products.
Our goal is to prepare 200 grocery bags to be delievered to Siler City on the 2nd Saturday of each month. In order to meet this goal, we will need your help. Please consider donating one of more of these items to help ensure that we reach our goal. Items may be dropped off at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Apex, or you can call to arrange for pickup (919-367-0766).
This might be a nice project for your group, be it boy scouts, girl scouts, Bible study, or any group that you belong to. Please look at the list below and help to support this worthy cause.
- Peanut butter and Jelly
