The Food Pantry runs in tandem with the Essentials Closet at our Olive Street Campus, and it is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00-11:00 AM. The Food Pantry provides quality food items to neighbors experiencing food insecurities. Our program supplies critical nutrition to hungry individuals and families. It is a welcoming, friendly, and service-oriented environment that seeks to minister wholistically to our neighbors and give the gospel distinction through acts of compassionate ministry. Volunteers unload and process food shipments, stock shelves, repackage bulk items into smaller family-size portions, register clients, facilitate a shopping experience, package grocery items, and transport groceries to their cars. Redemptive relationships are built to demonstrate the love of Jesus through acts of mercy to our community.
Titus 3:14 says, “And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.”
Prayer Points:
- For sympathetic ears, a loving heart, and helping hands for volunteers ministering wholistically to the needs of neighbors suffering from food insecurity.
- For extravagant generosity on the part of our members and LIFE Groups through regular and sustained giving of finances and material goods to support this incredible ministry.
- For corporate sponsors, local businesses, and farmers within the county to donate products to the Food Pantry.
