A Short Note from Doris and Karen:

We are getting into that busy time of the year with holidays quickly approaching .  Everyone is so busy with our daily lives and soon it will be time for family gatherings!   While we all love  them and they are so very important, we can’t forget those who aren’t as fortunate in putting food on their tables.  In all this busyness, we can’t forget those who need our help with non-perishable and perishable foods.    Our Desperate Needs List for October focuses on non-perishable foods that might be needed for the holiday meals but anything you give is a blessing also.   As a reminder, we also have a refrigerator/freezer for any perishable foods you want to contribute.  Don’t forget to let us know if there is a person or a family who needs food.  If they call the Church @804-276-5803, they will pass on the message on to the pantry.  These calls are returned promptly.  We ask also that you pray for our main pantry and Lil Blessing Box that we will be able to continue to provide for those who come to it for help.   Thank you so much for all your dedication and help in so many other ways along with your food donations to help those in need and to make this food ministry a success in helping others.  God Bless you in all you do and all you do is enough!!

Please contact Karen Gruver @804-615-8071 or Doris Marshall @804-304-8774 if you need assistance or have questions regarding our pantry. 

 










Regarding  our “Perishable Foods Ministry” – we appreciate the food that is being donated for our cold and frozen foods. 

As a R E M I N D E R:

We accept cold and frozen foods

We cannot accept any opened packages or home canned foods - it will be thrown away if that is the case

We can accept fresh vegetables and fruit

Any donations should be placed in the Food Pantry Refrigerator/Freezer

We ask you to let Karen or Doris know when you put food in the refrigerator/freezer

God Bless you for all you do to support others in need.  You make God smile!!






“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Hebrews 13:16

Additional Ways We Give Support Though our Pantry: 

  • Working with the Chesterfield Food Bank on Ironbridge Road. You can also support the food bank through volunteering and monetary donations. Click here for more details. 

  • Lil' Blessing Pantry - Our food pantry sits on church property and is located next the community board. Anyone accessing the pantry by vehicle would park in the church parking lot and walk up to it. This pantry is for anyone in need during these difficult times. The idea of this pantry is to "Take what you need and Give what you can."
