A Short Note from Doris and Karen:
It has been a busy month for the Food Pantry and our “Lil Blessing Box” but this is good news. This means we are able to help families with food. I hope we all can feel the blessing of giving to others whether you are donating food or actually giving out food from our pantry. Typically, we don’t get to talk to people who come to our blessing box but this week was an exception. Talked to a lady, Kathy, and she was so nice and very appreciative of being able to get food from the blessing box. And a nice gentleman, Steve, who ended up coming in to our main food pantry to get food for his family – which consists of his wife and their 13 year old daughter. When families come to us, we always ask them if they need prayer for anyone or anything and we assure them that we do lift up their prayers. Steve shared with me that his 13 year old daughter let he and his wife know that she wanted to do Bible study as a family. (They typically played games as a family) In our conversation, Steve said he was going to come to our church. I hope he does and if not, we can still pray for him and his family. Why am I telling you all this…………….Want to let you know these are real people who need real help and you, Friendship Baptist, are a blessing through your donations and support of this ministry to help.
Karen and I appreciate each and everyone of you and hope you will continue to support our pantry with Perishable and Non-perishable food donations – whatever you can give is enough! May God Bless You All – Thank You!

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."
