Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Phillippians 2:4

The Care Ministries at Harvest have established a Community Food Pantry for our congregation and our community.  The Food Pantry is now open and serving families within our congregation and the Reynolds School District Boundaries.  *Please bring photo ID and/or a piece of mail for address verification.  Items available include non-perishables and some personal care items.  Hours are Sundays 11am-1pm and Wednesdays 2-4pm

If you wish to DONATE, see below for a list of ideas.  There is a box in the foyer with a Food Pantry donation sign on the front.  You may drop off donations M-F 9am-4:30pm or Sunday mornings.  Or you can give during the offering or online and earmark the funds for the Food Pantry.  Thank you for your help in this endeavor!

Harvest Community Pantry FAQs

Q: I already go to a food pantry. Can I also get assistance from Harvest Food Pantry?

A: Yes! We are here to help supplement as much as you need.

Q: I can't make it to the pantry when it is open. What can I do to get food if I can't physically get there? Do you deliver?

A: We are not able to provide delivery services at this time, but will allow another person to pick up your food for you.  Talk to the volunteer or Harvest office and they will give you a proxy form to fill out.  If you are disabled, or over the age of 60, there are meal delivery programs called Meals on Wheels that will bring hot and cold meals directly to your home.

Q: How much food will I get from the pantry?

A: The Harvest Pantry is designed to be supplemental and we strive to provide families with at least 3 days of food.

Q: I have a relative living with me. Can we both get food from the pantry?

A: The Harvest Pantry provides food assistance based on household size.  If you live in the same house or apartment, you are counted in the same household and would receive one food order for your household – not two orders.

Q: I have special dietary restrictions. Can you help?

A: We will do our best to help clients that have special dietary needs/restrictions, but unfortunately we may not always be able to make these types of accommodations.

Q: I have feedback or a complaint... who do I talk to?

A: We recommend contacting a staff member of Harvest Christian Church 503-492-9800
