During the year that our food pantry has been serving others, close to 1,700 families are being served each month! Praise God for His blessing and continuted provision for this much-needed ministry. Since May 2, 2009, we have served a total of 18,829 households and 64,584 total people!

We do need volunteers! The food pantry requires at least 16 volunteers during Wednesday distribution to make sure everything runs smoothly. On Saturday we need closer to 20 volunteers to help during distribution. Volunteers are always needed in distribution, check-in, parking detail and food rescue (picking up and helping put the food away once it arrives at the pantry). Opportunities to serve are available every day. Depending on the day we need help in the morning, mid-day, or during distribution in the afternoon. It is a blessing and very rewarding to be a helping hand in this ministry. Please prayerfully consider if you are able to help.

If you are able to spare some time, whether once a week, a couple times a month or even once a month, or if you are already volunteering and need to make an adjustment to when you are scheduled, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Susan Gottlieb.

Email pantry director Maiya Lueptow if you want to know more about how our pantry works.
