From January 6, 2022 (the beginning of this Ministry) until June 30, 2022, we have helped 26 babies and young children in our community – making 155 visits to the Baby Pantry in the past six months. Our mission is to provide basic necessities for area children newborn to three years old and act as a community resource to parents and guardians.
Our church family and the community has been very generous supplying us with items and cash donations. It has truly been a blessing. However, we are having a hard time keeping up with the demand. The Pantry, on any given Wednesday or Saturday has 1 to 20 clients. In the past six months we have grown exponentially.
We know there are many people that could use a helping hand, especially the working poor in our communities. We don’t ask for anything, other than a name and address and the names and ages of the children. Everything that we give out, is FREE – no questions asked.
