Amazing Grace Food Pantry volunteer, Danielle, teaches our 2nd Nutritional Workshop Class this month. We learned so much, especially how certain foods block nutrients from being absorbed in our bodies. Important takeaways are how harmful salt and sugar are and how important beets and avocados are to our diet.

It’s not just a career it’s a desire to help others achieve their fitness potential. Seeing someone reach a goal they never believed could be obtained gives a moment of tremendous elation! Words can’t express the feeling of knowing someone will live a healthier, longer and more fulfilled life!” Danielle joyfully explains.

Amazing Grace Food Pantry is exclusively a volunteer organization, relying upon the talent and generosity of community members to procure, sort and distribute over 60 TONS of food every month to area families. This monumental undertaking is only possible due to the altruism and support received each and every week from people just like you.

I live close to Amazing Grace Food Pantry.  I never thought I’d need their help until this year when my family lost their home and had to move in with me.  There’s no way to pay the bills on our limited income and glad Amazing Grace Pantry is there to help with food in our time of need.

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!

Please share this and our other posts on your Facebook timeline, tweet it out on Twitter or forward via email. Many people looking to help or looking for help don't even know that ours and other pantries exist. Let others know there's help for them out there!
