In Spring 2019, we held our first food drive. We were thrilled to deliver almost 250 pounds of food to our local pantry. Jesus Focus Ministry Food Pantry is a part of Bethanna, a decades-long provider of foster care and family services. On average, the pantry feeds 600 children per month.
We had received a tour of the pantry and saw some empty shelves which we were told were full only a couple of weeks earlier. The Director commented, “As fast as it comes in, it goes back out to our community.” So, when JFM Food Pantry posted a note that shelves were bare, we wanted to help!
Supporting food pantries is supporting children and families in the community. We hope to expand our efforts of delivering fresh, healthy foods to children through local food pantries.
