FOOD PANTRY MINISTRY
In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank and the generosity of our church and the local community, feeding the hungry is a priority at Maple Springs. Our food pantry was established on November 13, 2000, to offer short-term emergency food assistance to those in our local community who are in need. We serve 75-100 families per week. The ministry has continued to grow year after year. The Maple Springs Food Pantry is supported by local food drives, individual contributions from our Maple Springs family, volunteers, and other individuals and organizations in our community.
Food Pantry Hours:
Tuesday 9:00-3:00
Wednesday 9:00-11:00
(unless church office is closed)
Qualifying families may visit once per month to pick up one week’s supply of food.
Volunteers: Volunteers (18 years or older) are needed each week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to serve food pantry clients. Volunteer duties included stocking shelves, preparing food bags, inventory management, assisting our clients in making their food choice selections, and preparing for each weeks opening and closing.
Food Donations: Food donations are accepted in the collection space inside Craven Fellowship Hall or outside of the Sanctuary. The food pantry is also in need of grocery bags (both plastic and paper).
For more information, please contact Heather Schenck at foodpantry@maplesprings.org. Make sure to follow the Maple Springs UMC Food Pantry on Facebook HERE!
