God has been gracious in his blessings!


"A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor."

-Proverbs 22:9


Through June 2015, our little pantry has distributed 115,795 pounds of food to 1965 local families in need!  These families represent 5397 individuals.  Our families need temporary help due to loss of work, underemployment, disability, medical issues or temporary setbacks.  Most also receive food stamps but still need a helping hand in order to feed themselves and their families.

Hunger is year round, if you hear God's calling, you can help in these ways:

  • Bring in canned goods, pet food, or designate a few dollars for the food pantry each month

  • Organize a food drive within your own neighborhood or social club once or twice a year donate the items collected to the pantry

  • Spread the word so others might also be inclined to support the pantry
