- Food Pantry update for April through September 2023
Good Shepherd’s Food Pantry gave 549 bags of food to feed 1240 people last quarter. Prayers were said for 341 people.
We are grateful for all the people who made donations of food or money to our Food Pantry.
- Food Pantry also needs a few good people
Good Shepherd’s Food Pantry is seeking volunteers who have a heart for those in need. If you can spare 4-6 hours each month helping to fill food bags, receive prayer requests and pass them on to Pastor Bruce, maintain the catalogue of family size of those served, and to help them with lists of open jobs, then we have the spot for you.
Those who come for help are treated with the utmost respect and care; the goal is to fill the gap until they are able again to afford to feed their families. See Bob Minor for more information.
