Food Pantry and Clothing:

Our members maintain a pantry of grocery items in order to help others who are in need.  We keep staple items such as flour, sugar, cooking oil, etc. as well as canned vegetables, fruit and meats.  You can help in this ministry by bringing in food items to stock the shelves, or in filling the bags to have them ready and waiting for those who come to our building during the week asking for aid.  The pantry also exists for our own members who have difficulties from time to time and need assistance.  Please feel welcome to share your needs with us so we may give you the help you need.  The clothing room has an assortment of gently-used clothing in many sizes and for all seasons. Help is needed to sort, label, stack and hang up donated items to make them readily available for those in need. If you enjoy organization and layout, you may find a place to be useful in this ministry.
