What Is Feed the Need? 

Feed the Need is a ministry designed to support members of our local community by providing food assistance to families and individuals in need.

We believe no one should have to go without basic necessities. Through donations, volunteers, and community partnerships, we are able to offer pantry support during designated pickup dates.

Whether you are experiencing temporary hardship or need extra support during this season, our goal is to help provide hope and practical care.
