What is the donated food for Pastor's Pantry used for?
Donated food is distributed to local people in need.  It is not just for older adults.

Where do I take my donations?
Bins for donations to the Pastor's Pantry are located right outside the chapel, to the right of the sanctuary doors in the Narthex.

Monthly Donation Items:
September - Cans of mixed vegetables
October - Oatmeal (single serving packets)
November - Canned soups and stews

This is a Thrivent sponsored project.
