FUMC Food Pantry
The First United Methodist Church (FUMC) Food Pantry was established in 1984 with the mission to provide "take-home" groceries to individuals, families, and households experiencing crisis. The Food Pantry is open at the following times: Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, from 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Pantry guests, please call 251-4407 to make a reservation for the Food Pantry. Please call between 9 and 10 a.m. on the day you wish to come in. We welcome all new and returning volunteers! There is a spot on a pantry team for you!! We invite you to come and visit the new operation. Volunteers assist clients with food choices, pick up bread, produce, and donations; grocery shop at the Food Bank and work in the pantry office. Gently-used clothing and household items are welcome. Please call Susan Jeannette at 256-9061. The
food pantry at First Church serves anywhere from 800 - 1,200 people per
month. Typically, more than half of those served are children ages 18
years and younger. There is never a lack of things to do at the First Church Food Pantry. Individuals wishing to volunteer can be matched up with any number of jobs that suit them - grocery shelf stocking, hands-on service to clients, grocery shopping, office work including data entry, client registration, and a myriad of other duties. Everyone seems to benefit from the FUMC Food Pantry. New friendships are created among clients, clients and volunteers, and between volunteers. It is a blessing and a privilege to serve each other in the name of the risen Christ. If you would like to make a financial contribution to the food pantry, you may send it to: FUMC
