OUR FOOD PANTRY

We have an "emergency food pantry" at the church. We help anyone in the area.

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 6 months of expiring.

Thank you so much for continuing to support our food pantry. So many families in our area have been blessed because of YOUR donations! Summers are especially hard for families because the children are not eating one or two meals at school each day.

Currently, our pantry has need of the following items:

• Pop Tarts (extremely low stock)
• granola/breakfast bars (extremely low stock)
• pancake mix (extremely low stock)
• syrup (extremely low stock)
• cream of chicken/mushroom soup (extremely low stock)
• mustard & ketchup (low stock)
• pasta (penne, shells, elbow, spaghetti, etc.) (low stock)
• side dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice, scalloped potatoes, flavored pasta, etc. (extremely low stock)
• pudding / jello cups (extremely low stock)
• cake, brownie, muffin, & cookie mixes (just add water is super nice!) (extremely low stock)
• cake/cookie icings (extremely low stock)
• 4- or 6-pack toilet paper (extremely low stock)
• 1- or 2-pk paper towels (extremely low stock)
• body wash (extremely low stock)
• dish soap (extremely low stock)
• liquid/foaming hand soap (extremely low stock)
• laundry detergent / fabric softener (extremely low stock)
• deodorant (men's & women's) (extremely low stock)
