These three adorable kiddos were among the many volunteers spending some of their summer vacation to help Fight Hunger Together!
In June, Amazing Grace volunteers served roughly 1500 people with 62,000 pounds of food. Some come every week, some less often. That’s 157 more people fed this month compared to last month. The need is growing. Amazing Grace Food Pantry can only operate with neighbors like YOU. Share a few hours a month volunteering or donate to help others. You’ll be amazed at the results!
Did You Know?
Many families suffer in silence until they find help during their difficult time. Food pantries fill this need by providing nutritional food, especially for kids… our community’s future adults. Take time to know your neighbor. If they are in need or their kids are on the school lunch program, let them know there is help during these summer months.
My adult son Judah and I started to volunteer at Amazing Grace food pantry about 7 months ago. We were looking for something to get us out of the house, having been a stay at home mom for many years.
We wanted to try it for 1 day a week to start with, just to “see” how it was there. Once we started there we discovered the awesome staff and other volunteers that made us feel so very welcome. It wasn’t too long before we decided to give more than 1 day.
We really enjoy the family atmosphere and the fact that everyone working there comes from all different walks of life. It’s very refreshing to me and it’s bringing a much richer dimension to our lives that we are so thankful for to this day. Besides this there comes the joy of helping people feed their families. Unless you work there you have no idea how much food passes through the doors each week nor how many people are helped.
We also love to see all the different ages come to volunteer, from family’s with young children to senior citizen’s. Everyone can have place to fill at Amazing Grace! My only regret is that we did not find Amazing Grace sooner!
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!
