WAAC/Food Pantry
Matthew 25:35-40 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Our members collect food for our local food pantry to help those in need. Collections are on-going and deliveries are made regularly to the pantry. It is a blessing to be able help those in need.

Community Meal
1 Peter 4:10-11 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
​
Six times a year we collaborate with other local churches to provide a free meal to the community. This meal is for all people in the community to come together to enjoy food and fellowship. It is not intended just for the needy. We also offer guest speakers to come in and inform everyone of community events.
