The Food Pantry has been able to expand it's services to meet the needs of the people of the community by adding Health Programs, Healthy Cooking Demonstrations on making meals from the food that they receive at the food pantry to ensure their families receive the proper nutrition they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The Food Pantry received a grant in 2003 from the Missouri Foundation For Health to strengthen the core of the Food Pantry to provide more healthy foods and nutrional classes to the participants. Through this grant the Food Pantry was able to build a warehouse 30x50 feet to store food for the families to distributed on a monthly basis.

The Central Missouri Food Bank of MO in working with FaithWalk has stated that the FaithWalk Food Pantry would be a model Food Pantry that other food pantries in the State of Missourishould model their day to day operations after.

There are more people in our communities that are going hungry that we need to reach.
