Serving at Amazing Grace Food Pantry helps us remember to appreciate the little things, such as a dozen eggs or fresh fruit. Sometimes we take these things for granted as we grab an apple and head to the office, but to a family struggling to put food on the table, an apple can symbolize hope.
A lack of proper food intake is known as malnutrition/undernourishment, meaning a lack of nutrients. Healthy meals and snacks should consist of natural fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and eggs. Amazing Grace Food Pantry provides over 100 pounds of food to over 2500 families that come in for food assistance. We focus on good, nutritional foods which ultimately promote a healthier body, behavior and brain power.
