Messiah’s collection spots for our food pantries are now located in the Narthex. (The public pantry is now relocated for 24hr access on the West side of the building) The pantries are getting a lot of use lately and are currently running low on food. Donations can simply be placed in the cabinets whenever you are at the Messiah building. Non-perishables, snacks, easy to open foods, toiletries and bottled drinks are all needed. Volunteers are always needed to transfer food from the collection cabinets to the outdoor pantry on a regular basis.
