First Presbyterian Church Food Pantry

Our generous donors are the lifeblood of the food pantry, enabling us to provide this form of support to the food-insecure. Our volunteers are church members, local businesses, Scout Troops, local school students, families, chambers of commerce, and many other generous, caring community members and organizations.
