The
Food Pantry is a joint Outreach Mission effort by the churches
in the Grantville area. The function of the pantry has
been to distribute food and household products to families with
demonstrated needs. The pantry has expanded its mission to
include preparing and serving one meal per month, at the Penn
National Racetrack, and clothing distribution. It is
housed at Faith U.C.C. Church located on
Route 743, between Routes 22 and 81.
Shells volunteers'
week to help at the Pantry is the third Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of every month.
Wednesday,
(9:00 a.m.) is the unloading and shelving of the food.
Thursday,
(6:00 to 8:00 p.m.) is to help in the distribution of the
food to registered clients.
Friday,
(from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon) is restocking the shelves and
distributing food to the clients.
The
contact person is Marianne G. She may be

“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of
these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
Matthew 31:4
Let us not forget those less fortunate than us. Our local
food pantries usually run low on their food inventory during this period of time.
Thank
you.

service we render for others is really the rent we pay
for our
room on this earth." |
