Amazing Grace Food Pantry appreciates all our volunteers, especially volunteers like Jessi who has been faithful to help every Tuesday for over 7 years. She is a ROCK STAR in our eyes! While she has mastered Staging I, one of our 3 Staging areas, she makes it look easy! It is hard work to customize each of the client boxes, adding special dietary items, frozen meats, pet food and hygiene items as needed.
By the time Staging I box is ready to go, it weighs an average of 50 pounds. Then, the process of distribution begins adding a 2nd box of beverages, snacks, milk, eggs, cheese, produce and bakery. Each client family receives an average of 105 pounds plus what they gather in our self-shopping area with lots of additional produce items like potatoes, onions, carrots, watermelon, etc. Our process allows over 70 families to be served each hour with a weeks’ worth of groceries.

Meet Gayle. She has been a client off and on for several years. She sought help when her dad had a stroke and she had to quit work to become his caregiver.
Amazing Grace Pantry has helped me survive troubled times due to family health problems. The pantry provides nutritious food that I cannot afford on limited income. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. Thanks to the community for supporting this pantry! I don’t know what I’d do without their help!
Take the time to read some of the testimonials from clients and volunteers on our website. Volunteer or donate this year. It will bless you!
