When you are hungry you can’t think of anything else! How can children focus on solving a math problem or being a positive force in the community when they are trying to ignore the persistent pangs of hunger? You may be able to survive without a home.

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Free raffle tickets will be given away the first hour of the program. The Nothing But Summer Fun Package will be given away at the end of the concert. You must be present to win.
The best part of all of this is that hopefully people will become familiar with the wonderful service of the ministries in their neighborhood and possibly form a relationship of some kind that may lead them to continue to be active with the pantry later down the road. I need all the help I can get to spread the word for people to register for the prizes. I also hope people will see the good work of the pantry and donate what they can be it time, pantry items or money. There are more people in need than ever before, so they need more help than ever before. Thank you for even considering getting involved!!!

Our Mission

You may be able to survive without a home. You can live without a fancy car. But you cannot survive and thrive without a sufficient amount of food! Watching children in our own community struggle with basic needs inspired the idea behind the cookbook.
