If you would like to provide food items, there are collection bins located at each of our church locations for you to drop off donations. Top needs for the pantry are: baby food (jars), boxed milk, cereal, coffee, cookies/crackers, cooking oil, flour, canned fruit, juice (boxed, bottled or canned), cleaning supplies, jelly/jam, ketchup, laundry detergent, mac and cheese, pancake mix, paper products (toilet paper, napkins, paper towels), pasta, personal supplies (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, razors, makeup, shaving cream), rice (white), salad dressing, salt, shampoo, soap, stuffing, sugar, syrup, tomato sauce, and diapers of any size.
Financial gifts allow us to purchase food throughout the year. Each year, we give away turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and special items for children like backpacks for school or toys for the holidays. In order to comply with health regulations, we also need to purchase food storage equipment and make renovations to maintain a pleasant and clean atmosphere. When you give, please indicate “FOOD PANTRY” on your check or select the it on the drop down if you are making an on-line gift.
