The First Baptist Church Food Pantry is a group of volunteers who are dedicated and privileged to show God's love by helping to feed those in need in the community. They come together every Monday morning to distribute groceries donated by agencies, the community and members to ease some of the financial burden of struggling families. Volunteers work throughout the week checking food supply, going to get food, unloading food and preparing for the next distribution. There is a need for dedicated volunteers to assist during the week with unloading, sorting and storing foods. In addition to food and money, they could also use volunteers to assist in manning the lines on Monday morning. Just show up at 7:45 am and they will find a job for you. Money donations are appreciated and may be left at the church office. They have had gardeners bring in their excess crops for distribution and it is always greatly appreciated.
What's needed
- Excess crops from gardeners
