The Food Pantry has had a productive year. We have increased the number of recipients from 2 – 4 Families (average of 8 to 16 individuals) per week to 10 – 16 families (averageof 40 – 64 individuals) per week.
Due to increasing demands for Food Pantry services, the labor required to support this outreach mission has increased exponentially.

This includes: 1) Monday – pickup of food from the San Antonio Food Bank (see below) and food shopping at local food stores for additional items; 2) Tuesday – registration for all clients and dispersal of food items to eligible clients; 3)Thursday – review and ordering of food items from the SAFB. There are four volunteers who “man” the Food Pantry on Tuesdays. The four volunteers include: Rev. Ava Lee Helms, Bob Monaghan, Sharon Tucker and Sarah Warren
