Food Pantry

There is always a lot of activity during the week at our pantry where we serve those most in need. On Tuesdays mornings we receive food deliveries, and then sort those items into boxes, making sure that each box contains a variety of nutritious foodstuffs, including breads, vegetables, and proteins. On Wednesday mornings, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., over 200 boxes are distributed to the community. And, of course, all of this includes God’s Grace and the Word as we strive to fill not only the emptiness of their stomachs, but the greater needs of their souls.

There are all sorts of ways that members can make a difference in this program. Whether it is helping to unload the truck, stock the shelves, move boxes from shelves to distribution tables, or transporting food to vehicles, there is always something that can be done.
