Each One Reach One

During the recent pandemic, the Food Bank saw an increase in need as an average of 170 families per week were needing food on Monday afternoons. The volunteers shifted from stocking shelves and people filling their own bags to filling bags to be delivered out to cars as those in need of food were served through a drive thru system utilizing many volunteers and hundreds of bags of donated food. As the pandemic continued, the donations continued to pour in from those who attend the Church and those in the community that saw a need. The Food Bank remained open almost every Monday to meet the needs of our community. Neighborhoods and individuals turned their clubhouses and driveways into drop off locations for neighbors to make donations. Word spread of a way to show love to others during a time of distancing and isolation and the result was truly miraculous! On average, over 650 bags of food were donated during the pandemic.

The Food Bank motto, “Each One Reach One”, came to life this year as each can of tuna, box of pop tarts, or bag of rice was not just an item of food but a gift of love that reached one family in our community. Donating reaches families with basic needs but also the Gospel in action as we share the love of Christ with our neighbors.

It truly is a blessing to give and a blessing to those who receive.
