Non-perishable donations to the Food Pantry can be placed in the wicker baskets in the Narthex. Perishable donations can be made directly to the Food Pantry during operating hours or by appointment. Donation receipts are available upon request. Please do not leave donations outside on the ground as animals, insects, and outside temperatures can spoil food.
Please do not leave perishables in the Narthex as they will spoil.
If you prefer to make a financial donation, please write "food pantry" on your check or donation envelope and drop it off at the church or use the donation button above.
Our Food Pantry volunteers buy, separate, sort, bag, and distribute food during our Pantry hours. Most importantly, they act as a warm, welcoming presence to all who come to us for aid. Together, we serve and pray for those in need. We especially need strong individuals to help stock the shelves. We also need help with data entry and database management. No special skills are required; we will train.
