Your hands are needed to give Food to those in need: 
        Wednesday 9:00 – 1:00 and Sunday 9:00 – 10:30

We are serving more and more people during these hours. The number of members and volunteers is limited so unfortunately there are days that we must make immediate changes to serve everybody. Janice is providing this Leadership for Wednesday and Sunday Food Pantry service. Although we do not want to limit services like Coffee or heated sandwiches we may need to and Janice will guide as needed. Please keep the Food Pantry service area, including the staff room, limited to workers during the above hours as it gets very busy. Our Food Pantry is a major blessing to our community, please keep it in prayer for more volunteers.
