Our goal is to serve the needs of those who are food insecure, and the community has provided us with the secure knowledge that this goal can be reached if we work together.

Thrift Store (closed permanently)
As of June 1, 2021, the thrift shop area has been converted to a food pantry that will allow clients the choice of their foods. The entire area is dedicated to serving those families in a comfortable area with well-stocked shelves.Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic brought huge obstacles to running the thrift shop. There are no scheduled deliveries as we have had in the past, and some of our suppliers have moved to a different part of the state. It is no longer feasible to accept secondhand items, and disposal of items we can't use is cost-prohibitive.
We thank all who have supported our thrift shop over the years. We are a small group doing a big job! We miss our thrift shop, but look forward to our new venture and with God's help and guidance, we know it will be a great success!
