Crossgate Food Pantry
Crossgate Food Pantry is an ongoing ministry of Crossgate Church which serves approximately 200 families per month. The goal of this ministry is to reach out to the needs of the community both in feeding their physical needs along with their spiritual needs. For some of our clients, we are their only link with Jesus.
Our Pantry is operated solely by volunteers and is open the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. It is located on the lower level of the campus and is accessed from our rear entrance. You can follow the signs that are posted on campus each time the Pantry is open. Food is donated by our church body and supported financially by our Missions Ministry. When you give to Missions at Crossgate you are supporting the Food Pantry ministry.
Items Needed on a regular basis include:
- Canned Meats
- Canned Fruit
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly
- Dried Beans
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Spaghetti Noodles
- Cereal
- Macaroni & Cheese
"Serving in the food pantry brings me to the house of God where I serve with other volunteers whom I have formed new and meaningful friendships with. Together we serve our community with food and prayer for whatever their needs may be. It is the most rewarding ministry and/or volunteer work I've ever been involved in." - Barbara Wade, Voluntee
