Covington First United Methodist Church Food Pantry

Covington First Food Pantry feeds over a thousand families a year from the generosity of our congregation. Our Food Pantry Chairman, Buster Gregory, searches out the most economical purchases to provide two bags of food per family, per visit, every two months. These bags provide enough food for a family of four for one week. Faithful volunteers come to the church every week and package up the bags of food. Joyce Lancaster handles the schedule of volunteers that work the the food pantry desk on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-3:30 pm. The food pantry is funded by generous donations from members of Covington First and other memorials and honoriums given by church members and members of the community.
