Food Pantry
"Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:14 – 17)
Visiting us
In December, our Food Pantry will operate only on the second Saturday from 11 am - 1 pm: December 14th.
The food pantry will go resume to their normal schedule, the first & third Saturday of the month, beginning Saturday, Januaray 4th, 2025.
The 3VC Food Pantry is open every first and third Saturday of the month, from 11am - 1pm, (except for December). If you are in need, we invite you to come receive bags of non-perishable staples, as well as a selection of by-request items. Follow the signs around to the west entrance of the church where we look forward to welcoming you!
We pray regularly over the pantry, and for those guests who visit us to make use of it. Food pantry volunteers are always ready to pray with you when you visit us; we would consider it an honor.
How Can I Get Involved?
The 3VC Food Pantry opened in October of 2021 and has been running regularly, serving an average of 100 people twice a month (18 households).
We distribute items collected by the Church body and supplemented by the 3VC Mercy Fund.
Here are a few options for contributing to the 3VC Food Pantry ministry:
DONATIONS – you can drop non-perishables in good condition off in the red donation bin near the main entrance during the week, or on the table in the Pantry itself on Sundays.
GIFT CARDS – gift cards to area grocery stores are happily accepted! These will be used to fill in nutritional gaps for the pantry, or to meet a family’s emergency needs.
MERCY FUND – When you give to 3VC, it supports the Mercy Fund, and portion of that is dedicated to the 3VC Food Pantry, as well as meeting other needs that emerge in the church and local community. If you would like to donate to 3VC please click the "GIVE" icon in the top right menu of the 3VC website.
