Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Food Pantry and Garden of Grace
Responding to a growing need in our community, MCC's Food Pantry has become a vital monthly resource, serving 45-50 families since its expansion in February 2021. Initially serving our church community, we now welcome a diverse group of patrons, including senior adults and families of all structures, many of whom are employed yet face financial hardship. We currently self-fund both our food pantry and the Garden of Grace, demonstrating our deep commitment to these ministries.
In the Spring of 2025, MCC launched the Garden of Grace, a new ministry featuring raised beds cultivating fresh vegetables and herbs. This garden directly supports our Food Pantry, aiming to supplement our non-perishable offerings with healthy, seasonal produce.
Food Pantry: MCC hosts a local food pantry. Our members and friends donate non-perishable food items, toiletries, household items, baby supplies and even pet supplies for those in need. Our food pantry is open on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Hours are 9:00AM - 11:00AM and all are welcome to attend. If you would like to donate items to our food pantry you can drop off items on Sunday mornings or during church office hours. To see what is most needed right now email our church office.
