It takes the whole congregation supporting the Abiding Presence Food Ministries in order for us to answer the call to feed our neighbors in need. Now, there are three ways for you to support the ministry:
Donate Non-Perishable Food - Check out the list of items needed and drop off anytime in the bins outside of the church. The bins are emptied daily.
Shop our Amazon Wish List or Target Gift List - Shop online and have your non-perishable food items delivered directly to the church.
Donate Money - Give directly to Abiding Presence and we will use the money to purchase fresh and non-perishable food through our partners.
Abiding Presence offers food to neighbors in need through our partnership with ECHO, a monthly food pantry at the church and a monthly “Neighborhood Pantry” at a local apartment complex. Learn more about how you can get involved and/or receive food if you are in need.
