How It Works

Each family is given a shopping list and they are allowed to choose 17 items from what we have on hand. These items include 3 main meals, 2 side dishes, 2 fruits, 2 vegetables, 1 misc. item, 2 soups, 1 breakfast item, 1 drink, a choice between 2 cleaning supplies or 2 personal hygiene items, and 2 paper products.

Thanksgiving of 2025, our food drive collected 3,077 canned goods for our food pantry.
We also gave more than 120 bags of food to families in the community.  The bags included traditional fixins and a gift card to a local grocery store to buy a turkey.  We owe a big thank you to the generous community and the church members who make this mission possible.

Food Pantry History

Our Food Pantry was established when a small group of our church noticed a need in our community and chose to address it. The pantry has grown from being a small closet in the church office into a complete food pantry wing of our building! We currently serve over 100 families in our community on a monthly basis!

If you would like to donate to the food pantry you need only drop off your donation at the church any time during office hours! We also do a special food drive around in November where we fill a grocery cart in the lobby and try to collect 2000 items.
