Community Comes Together

Recently, Feeding Hands Pantry has seen more and more groups asking to volunteer.

Pay It Forward

Right around Valentine’s Day, we, in an unusual happening, had no produce donations come in. This left our produce room barren, but God Knows what we need. An angel donated bouquets of flowers. Confused by God’s line of events, we pressed on and offered these flowers to the women coming through. To our surprise, these […]

Taken for Granted

There are many duties we do in our homes we do not think twice about: Doing our laundry, cleaning up the kitchen table or our living space, doing dishes, brushing our teeth. Try putting yourself in a world where you not only have to think about doing these tasks, but also whether you have what […]

Being There in the Joy, Relief, Sharing and Grief

We served 221 families providing food to almost 600 individuals in September-up another 10% over August. But the numbers do not tell the story. We have been so blessed to be here to help so many guests meet their physical need for food and their need to be treated with the dignity that was instilled […]

The Church Provides Thanksgiving Baskets

We walked the perimeter Friday night, praying for all who would come. Praying […]

Witnesses to the First Miracle

We just followed the Lord’s promptings and adjusted our process, not our mission. The result was the distribution of over 40,000 pounds of food, 1000’s of prayers and untold numbers of smiles and hugs and tears.
