“We at the Food Pantry are the hands and feet of Christ and we assure them [community clients] that they are in the right place at the right time and we extend that invitation to sit at God’s table and feast. We not only attend to the physical need in the Food Pantry but we attend to the Spiritual need as well and we assure they are honored guests and God wants them.
Members enter through the doors they are greeted and hugged by Sis Lorraine Evans from St. Dunstans who has such a warm embrace and a welcoming voice and the light of the Lord that shines through her. Everyone looks forward to her hugs and love. Sis Marcia Smith of St. Dunstans works crowd control and does so with kindness and love.
Our caring interview team is Sis Lee Spence, Sis Linda Connell, sis Celia Boswell, and Sis Patti Corbett all of St. Dunstans. All interviews and visits to our Food Pantry are confidential. Family members are served a delicious meal by our fabulous Food Team. Our Food Team consists of our own Sis BJ Johnson of St. Paul, Sis Jeanne Ann Lea, Sis Bonita Howell and Sis Pam Duncan all from St. Dunstans. The beautiful ladies ensure that our family members are served a delicious and nutritious meal centered around the theme of the pantry that month and what our Family Members will be receiving in their food orders.
Next our buggy team is ready to carry the groceries out to their vehicles. This team is led by our own Bro Ron White. Bro Ron’s team players are Bro George Brumsey St. Paul, Sis Veronica Lawton First Lady of St. Dunstans and Bro. Gary Smith. They are the last people our Family Members may see. They make sure that all are taken care of with kid gloves. ....Last but not least Judge Boswell, St. Dunstans, is our golf cart chauffeur. Judge fairies our Family Members from the Fellowship Hall parking lot to the Food Pantry due to our parking lot situation. Judge offers a warm smile and kindness to all he meets at our Food Pantry and on the golf cart rides. As you can see we have many volunteers working to make it all happen.
From December to May we have served 389 families and 995 individuals.
We can never thank our donors enough for all of the donations and for the individuals that pray for us. We could not do what we do without you, without the help and support of our Pastor and First Lady, our Church Family and our Volunteers”
Would you like to donate food items, or, become a Food Pantry Ministry volunteer? Check with Marcia Smith or any of the volunteers mentioned above for additional information. All volunteers undergo a brief orientation and training session prior to working at the Pantry. Distribution and work day is usually on the last Thursday of the month from 10AM to 2PM or until the last Family Guest is served.
