Our bi-monthly Community Food Pantry at Richland Creek is helping to feed hundreds of families in our community by both meeting their practical needs and, more importantly, engaging them with the Gospel. This ministry is a tangible way to Love God and Love Others and we want to invite you to participate.

We certainly depend on your faithful donations of food, but we also are seeking to grow our volunteer team.

Since early 2020, we have moved our food pantry events to a mostly drive-thru setup, with recipients speaking to a counselor in the parking lot and filling out forms on clipboards. As we move into the next season, we are looking to move the majority of the food pantry back into the building. With this change, we need to expand our pool of available counselors who talk and pray with those who come to us seeking assistance. We have two training events coming up for would-be food pantry counselors:

• Weds. Aug. 17 (6:30 pm)

• Sun. Aug. 21 (12:30 pm)
