First Lutheran Church Food Pantry

Is it time for you to clean out your cupboards? Are you looking for a wonderful volunteer opportunity to give back to the community? Please consider helping in our Food Pantry. We strive to provide food for anyone who walks through our doors where they are welcomed with a smile and treated with dignity and respect. We are going to have a fresh new pantry! The Choice Pantry provides community members with access to healthy and nutritious foods. Our system emphasizes both choice and a balanced diet. People "shop" through their food selection process much like they would in a grocery store, rather than receiving prepackaged bags. The Food Pantry is open from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (closed the first full week of the month for restocking) and feeds an average of about 40 hungry people each weekday the year round. Lately, we have been serving 85 to 90 people per day!
