Food Pantry Outreach
Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Outside Sidewalk (Illinois Street, on the south side of the Church)
We are going to begin a monthly outdoor food pantry ministry to help out those in our community! We will plan on setting up a table outside at least once a month (during summer/fall) and loading it up with food and items of necessity. You can drop off donations to Pastor Amber, or if you would like to volunteer to help out just let her know. Great way to connect with our community and give-back! Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus!
