Amazing Grace Food Pantry served over 200 families so far in June with nutritious food along with watermelons and apples. Produce was in abundance this week along with regular items to make a variety of meals. Many come every week, some less often. We welcomed approx. 10 new families so far this month. With the kids out of school and cooling costs rising, we hope to help ease the grocery expenses for more families this summer.

Thank you LOWES in Murphy for the May Food Drive!
We were running low on canned veggies and juice, you helped fill the need this week!
New Building Update: Building project is coming along. Framing is done! Electrical 90% done. Concrete pad outside the receiving door needs to be poured soon. Still searching for donation or cost price on 20yards of concrete. If you know of a reputable concrete company that can supply $80 yard, please send them our way!
Latest Need: One of our freezers needs the compressor replaced. Someone will donate labor, but cost is $850 for the part. If you’d like to help with this need, please visit our donation page.
Meet Melissa,
Melissa has a family of 5 and started coming to Amazing Grace Food Pantry in November. She is homeless, although living in a modest motel at the moment. She tried to go to another pantry but missed the opening day or time. They turned her away with only an emergency contact number to call. They never returned her 2 calls, so she sought out another pantry and found Amazing Grace. She is so grateful to have found Amazing Grace Food Pantry where everyone has big hearts. Because of her current situation, she’s not able to cook meals that require more than a microwave. Amazing Grace Food Pantry tailors her box to make it easier for her to make meals at home.
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!
