First Sunday Food Drive




Our FIRST SUNDAY FOOD DRIVE gives members of the congregation the opportunity to share from our abundance by donating canned goods, non-perishables, and paper products on the first Sunday of each month. 

The food we bring in goes to Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE), who collects the donated items and distributes them to our neighbors in need throughout our community. Standard items always needed are - dried beans, macaroni and cheese, rice (all flavors), pasta, coffee, tea, sugar, sugar substitutes, grits, oatmeal, Jell-O, pudding, 2lb. packages of flour, pop tarts, all fruit and vegetable canned goods, paper products, and cleaning supplies.

Grocery buggies are placed outside the worship areas for receiving donations.
