Our congregation has been so faithful in providing food for the hungry, especially during Covid-19. Alison Pachecano has stepped forward to get our generous food donations dated, organized, and bagged for hungry families. She is also willing to be available every other Saturday to distribute the bagged food to the hungry, but she will need a team of four people for each Saturday. Two people are in the atrium and two are outside. She will organize and schedule the teams.

Our food pantry will be open every other Saturday morning 10 a.m.-noon. Each hungry family who comes during that time receives two grocery bags containing meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit, etc. The bagging of food is done on Mondays 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m..

We have set up protocols to keep us safe from COVID-19. 

• The food is organized and bagged by two masked people at one time in the food pantry on Mondays. 

• Food is distributed in pre-packed bags outside the Atrium in front of the church every other Saturday. Everyone wears masks.

Please contact Desiree Barker or Deacon Julie Tilton if you (and your family?) want to be part of this outreach to the under-served in our church neighborhood.
