HISTORY GROUPS MISSION
|
We work with the community-based group Love In the Name of Christ to maintain a food pantry in order to be able to make deliveries of food to needy families. Love INC is a clearinghouse for families that are in need. The families contact Love INC by phone, Love INC hears their stories, records data on the families, and calls one of the four churches in Reedley that have food pantries if they think there is a legitimate need. Sometimes we supplement items from our food pantry with vouchers funded by the Salvation Army and given to Love INC. We often distribute food to the families of needy students at Lincoln Elementary School. Our food pantry is filled by donations from the congregation and collections made by the World Studies classes at Reedley High School.
