Stan and Dwight from First Church push a cart of donated food to Trinity Interfaith Food Pantry TIFP
On December 2, 2020
Stan said, “I am amazed that we have so much food to donate because people have to go out of their way to bring the food inside the church.”
The efforts by the members of FUMC are gratefully received by the food pantry and especially by the patrons who come to the pantry on Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
The pantry, open only 92 days in 2020 has served 2,394 households.
