SUMMARY:Stock the Shelves
DESCRIPTION:Our Stock the Shelves food pantry ministry\, which originally served 20 families when it was founded in 2020\, now serves 50–70 families every month by providing them with necessities such as food\, cleaning supplies\, and hygiene products. Items are distributed to families in need at 9:00–11:00am on the third Saturday of every month. No signup is required\, but we ask that you bring some form of proof of address so we can keep track of who has received help each month. \n\nWant to help Stock the Shelves? Your donations make this possible! You can give financially to support the food pantry via our online donations portal\, or you can donate shelf-stable goods in the blue bins located in the Narthex and church office. Each month has a different item focus as follows: \n\nJanuary\, May\, September: Laundry Detergent\nFebruary\, June\, October: Diapers (sizes 3\, 4\, and 5 preferred)\nMarch\, July\, November: Personal Hygiene Items (shampoo\, toothpaste\, etc)\nApril\, August\, December: Cleaning Supplies (kitchen and bathroom cleaners)\n\nYou can also click here for a list of all suggested donations. Additionally\, you can choose to sponsor a particular item on a monthly basis either via regular donations or by shopping for and dropping off the item each month. For example\, you could sign up to donate 75 one-pound boxes of pasta a month ($1 each at Walmart or Aldi)\, one or more Costco multi-packs of canned corn or beans (we use 50–70 per month)\, or canned tuna or chicken (we use about 50 per month). More sponsors help us refill the pantry each month after we serve the families who need our help. If you’re interested in giving in this way\, contact Christie Johnson at christie.johnson92@gmail.com or Megan Maxwell at meganstanton22@gmail.com. \nWant to give time as well as or instead of donations? Our Stock the Shelves food pantry ministry offers many opportunities to help. You can shop for us once a month on your own time\, help us stock our shelves and pre-pack giveaway boxes on the third Thursday of each month (6:00–8:00pm)\, or assist with food distribution on the third Saturday of the month (8:30–11:00am). Thursday setup and Saturday distribution are both great chances for singles and families to serve. Click here and sign up if you’re ready to lend a hand. We appreciate all your support of this vital ministry!
