Description:
The Food Pantry at Asbury was started due to the dream of several members of our Missions In Action Committee. There was a desire to serve those who were unable to provide enough food for their families due to financial hardships and responsibilities. We opened the Food Pantry in June 2012 with the vision to feed those who were hungry. We do not screen the families who come to our Food Pantry. It is our belief that there are families in our area who may fall through the cracks in being eligible for assistance, and we feel that Christ asks us to feed those who come without questions, just acceptance. We are open on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:30 in Campus 1. Since opening we have served in excess of 150 families representing over 750 people. Families may come every other week to receive food. The Asbury Food Pantry provides groceries for approximately twenty local families each week. An average of 440 cans of food is distributed to members of our community weekly. During the holidays, we also provide each family with a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. The people who visit the food pantry are individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds and live in the local community. Many of these families would go hungry without the help this ministry provides.
