A Short Note from Doris and Karen:

It is beginning to be that time of the year – all kinds of busyness for November and December.  For November, we have a new “Desperate Needs List”. 

In December, we will be doing the Reverse Advent Calendar again!  This is a holiday tradition where you place one item  into a box or container every day for 24 days leading up to Christmas.   A list will be made available  in November to anyone who wants to participate.  You simply get a container or box, collect daily items – add one item each day from December 1st through December 24th.  Then bring your collected items to the church for the FBC Food Pantry. 

 If  you know of anyone who may need food assistance  or if you have questions, contact Doris Marshall  (804-304-8774) or Karen Gruver (804-615-8071) or the Church Office (804-276-5803).  Thank you to all who support our Food Pantry Ministry.  We appreciate all you do and all you do is enough!! 

 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 caseWe 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."
