OUR FOOD PANTRY

We have an "emergency food pantry" at the church (no income or residency requirements).

For our folks who are able to shop a little extra, please consider dropping off items to help others in our community. NOTE: We do not accept fresh produce, bread, milk, or other soon-to-perish items. Please do not bring anything dented, opened, partially used, expired, or within 4 months of expiring.

Thank you so much for continuing to support our food pantry and our new Blessings Box. So many families in our area have been blessed because of YOUR donations!
