As stated in the September 2025 issue of First Pres News Monthly, “it is such a blessing that we can provide emergency food to so many people in our community each month.” So far, this month, we have served more than 140 guests.
We are so grateful for wonderful community volunteers who show up every Wednesday, and those who show up every other day - whether for inventory, packaging boxes, sorting foods or handling the deliveries!
As the saying goes “It takes a village” and we are so grateful for our First Pres village who come together in the spirit of Christ’s love and commitment to care for those whom society often deems “the least of us”. Thank you to ALL who continue to provide donations of time, money, muscles, food, prayers and compassion.
We invite any vegetable gardeners with an over-abundance of fresh produce to drop them off on Wednesdays by 3:30 p.m. This is a wonderful seasonal extra which is so appreciated by food pantry guests.
Some of the items that we have a hard time keeping in stock are boxed dinners that include pasta (e.g., macaroni & cheese); shelf-stable proteins—including canned or foil pouches of tuna, chicken or ham; cans of hearty soups & stews.
