Food Pantry
The food pantry ministry supplements the pantries of local families, honoring self-declared need. Recipients may choose foods best for their household. Ministry volunteers load the food directly into client vehicles.
The pantry is open on Mondays from 10:00 am–12:00 noon. Line-up begins at 9:30 am.
