No One Goes Hungry

Our Community Food Pantry serves families and individuals facing food insecurity with dignity, compassion, and no questions asked. Since 2018, we've distributed over 120,000 meals to our neighbors — and the need continues to grow.

How It Works

  • Walk-In Welcome — No appointment needed. Anyone is welcome to visit our pantry on Saturdays between 9:00 AM and noon. First-time visitors just need a photo ID.

  • Family-Sized Portions — Each family receives a bag of groceries including fresh produce, proteins, canned goods, bread, dairy, and pantry staples. Enough for approximately 5–7 days of meals.

  • Choice Model — We operate a client-choice pantry, which means families can select items that fit their dietary needs and preferences, just like shopping in a store.

  • Emergency Assistance — If you need food outside of Saturday hours, call the church office. We maintain an emergency supply for urgent situations.

By the Numbers (2025)

  • Families served weekly: 60–80

  • Meals distributed last year: 28,000+

  • Volunteer hours donated: 3,200+

  • Community food drive collections: 12,000 lbs

How You Can Help

  • Donate Food — Drop off non-perishable items in the collection bins in the church lobby anytime. Most needed: canned proteins, rice, pasta, peanut butter, cereal, and cooking oil.

  • Volunteer — Help sort, stock, and distribute on Saturdays (shifts: 7:30–9:00 AM or 9:00 AM–12:00 PM). Teens welcome with a parent.

  • Financial Gifts — Every $25 donated provides a full week of groceries for a family. Give online or by check marked "Food Pantry."

  • Corporate Partners — Local businesses can sponsor monthly fresh produce deliveries. Contact us for details.

Partners

We work alongside Mercy Food Bank, the USDA Commodity Supplemental Food Program, and local grocery stores who donate surplus items weekly.
