IN THE
PANTRY
Food Ministry

What is the goal?

The goal is to help families save
about 50% on their groceries, while
encouraging the building of
relationships with their neighbors in
the community. There are no
qualifications...if you eat, you qualify.

What is IN THE PANTRY Food Ministry?

IN THE PANTRY exists to provide food to
those in need in our local area.
There are no income guidelines, as we
all know, there are times when there is
just not enough money at the end of the
month. Jesus said, "when I was hungry,
you gave me something to eat."
Making 1D4O important,
we are purposing to do something!

Who can participate?

Any one from the affluent to those with struggling budgets can participate in IN THE
PANTRY. You see, even those who can afford to spend more for food are being good
stewards with their money by simply being more frugal. What's more, the minimal profits in
each share of food sold go to support this program and sometimes those who can't even
afford to buy a share. And if you're really not interested in participating for whatever reason,
we do take donations, and the donation for what we call a "sponsored share". That means
your donation goes to buy food for a neighbor in your community that needs help.

How does IN THE PANTRY achieve this?

We select items that you're most likely to buy at the grocery store, including fresh fruits,
vegetables, and frozen meats. Then we purchase massive quantities of these items at very
low prices. At no time do we ever accept donated food for distribution. Then through a
network of volunteers on site, we hand boxes out to families or anyone who shows up.

As a non-profit organization, IN THE PANTRY relies heavily on volunteers and passes on the
huge savings by our reduced expense. Unlike a traditional grocery store, we don't maintain
inventories, expensive stores, large employee bases, etc. We rely primarily on word of mouth
advertising. Plus we're in it for you, not for the organizations profits.

You say build community? How?

Virtually anything that you do for anyone not in your immediate family for free is volunteering.
Most people find that they're already doing it without realizing it. With IN THE PANTRY, we
feed both the body and the Spirit.

We welcome you to the FFWC family and hope you enjoy the program.
