The Little Pantry outside the church needs food. Please consider bringing in cans of food, pasta or anything that can be easily prepared. Fresh fruit is welcome as long as it is not overly ripe. Reusable water bottles are welcome so that those who are unhoused in the heat can fill the container in the park and take it with them. You can put the food directly into the pantry outside the upstairs door, or if there is adequate food already there, put it in the barrel in the lobby for use in the coming days.

The Food Pantry is a small, freestanding shelter where food is donated by those who are able and food is taken each week by many people in need. FCC volunteers have generously stepped up to help keep the pantry cleaned up and in good order. Members of the congregation, friends and neighbors are invited to help keep the pantry stocked. Food donations should be easy to heat or can sit in the pantry for days without spoiling. Examples of helpful donations include canned foods like soups and beans, peanut butter, easily cooked pasta or ramen, fresh apples or other produce, and even hygiene products. Stop by the pantry, open the door, and place your items inside.
