Community Care - Food Pantry

/files/Volunteer/Images/CareOutreach/SAMUEL.jpgThe New Life Food Pantry meets families /files/Ministry Icons/Outreach/Foodpantry/FeedtheWorld.jpg
face to face on pantry days
(every three weeks-Wednesday at 4 pm).

We find out what their needs are, let them
know they are cared for by New Life Church
by talking with them and praying with them, then gladly help them out to their cars with their groceries and donated clothing.

Questions?
  Please contact Jennifer Huizinga at  J_Huizinga@comcast.net

Donations should be placed on the food pantry shelving at the end of the mail slot hallway.    

 

We can always use paper grocery bags so if you would like to donate new or gently used bags that would also be appreciated. 

 

Also it is always possible to donate monetarily to the New Life Food pantry, that way we can shop for what is needed at Northern Illinois Food Bank, which sells grocery stock at discounted rates.  Just make your check out to New Life Cburch and note food pantry in the memo section.  You can either put it in the offering plate or in B. Huizinga’s mail slot.
