      New Summer Grocery Program

      The Food Pantry is very blessed to be able to start a new outreach program this summer for children who normally receive free meals at school.  Volunteers will deliver groceries 6 times this summer to 12 needy families in Friendswood.  This is a new ministry that will need many volunteers and sponsors.  Thanks to a generous donation from the Women’s Ministry, the Pantry will be able to provide basic grocery items to these families throughout the summer.   We need sponsor families to provide extra items such as milk, granola bars, etc.  The sponsor families can  give a monetary donation and let the Pantry do the shopping.  To make a donation, please use the pink Food Pantry Donation envelope or clearly indicate the donation is for the Summer Food Program.  Sponsor families can be given a grocery list and do their own shopping.  Either option can be a one time assistance, a summer long commitment or something in-between.

      We are in need of drivers and people to help carry groceries.  Delivery dates will be every other Saturday beginning June 8th at 9:00 AM.  If you can help us show God’s love and compassion to these families it will be a blessing for all those involved.
       

      For more information or to volunteer, contact Chris at the Food Pantry or summergroceryprogram@gmail.com.
