Current Needs
Adopt a Family Christmas program -
In October, we will begin registering local families or groups to sponsor our families for Christmas. Click here to find out more about this program.
Non-perishable food - jelly, peanut butter, canned fruits, vegetables, soups, pasta & meats, crackers, beans, cereal, etc.
Egg Cartons & Plastic Grocery Bags - we often get offers of eggs in bulk (30 per tray). We need the empty egg cartons
to divide up the eggs to give to our guests. We also need plastic grocery bags for our guests to carry their groceries.
Toiletry items - toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, diapers, soap, detergent, etc.
Beds - need mattresses and box springs in gently used condition for our guests who do not have beds. We can also
use sheet sets and comforter sets which are in gently used condition. Many of our guests that do have mattresses are using them without sheets.
Appliances - some of our guests are in need of stoves, washers, refrigerators and other appliances.
Volunteers are welcome every Saturday morning from 9am to 12:30pm to help distribute groceries and every Wednesday night from 5 to 7:30pm to help serve dinner. If you would like to bring a group of 10 or more people, please email Julie to schedule a date for your group to volunteer.
Babysitters - We are starting ESL (English as a 2nd language) classes the week of September 22nd through November 21st. We need teens or adults to entertain the kids in the basement for a few hours during the classes. The classes are on Tuesday afternoons from 12 to 2pm and Thursday evenings from 6-8pm. Contact Beth at beth@lordspantry.org for more information.
Thanksgiving Dinner - Although we appreciate all the offers to help serve Thanksgiving dinner, we already have 30
volunteers signed up to help that day. If you're interested in volunteering, you may come on any Saturday between 9am and 12pm
to help us pass out groceries to our guests.
