The Food Pantry

THE EVAN FOOD PANTRY

Our Food Pantry is a free gift.   Freely given to those with food insecurity just like God's love is a free gift to all of us!  Everyone is welcome!  There are no requirements to meet.  Our Pantry has lovingly served over 2,400 people in the 15 years since we started it. 
The Pantry is open for giveaway once a month.  Check the calendar.  On that day, park in the west lot on N. Pine St. Park near the office door if possible. You’ll be given a list of the food available and will be asked to mark your choices.  Please write your name and the number of people in the family on the order to identify it.  When your order is ready, you will be directed to the east lot to pick it up.
How to Help -
Volunteers are the core of this outreach! Nonperishable food donations are always needed and can be brought Sunday morning and placed in the tub in the lobby or taken to the office during office hours. Click below for the list of most needed items. 
Help is especially needed at 8:30 am on the Thursday before the Pantry Give-Away to unload items from Midwest Distribution Center and set-up. Help is also needed on the Giveaway day. Come at 6:30 am that Saturday.   If you have questions about helping or anything else, use the "Questions or Comments" button on this page or contact the church office .
