“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in.”
Matthew 25:35
The Waukee Area Christian Food Pantry is a non-profit outreach ministry supported by eight Area Waukee Churches (Immanuel Lutheran Church, Point of Grace, St. Boniface Catholic Church, Waukee Baptist Church, Waukee Christian Church, Waukee Community Church, Waukee United Methodist Church, and Westview Church).
As a community of faith, this organization is united in sharing God’s love with those in need by providing assistance and linking them with resources that will enable them to become healthier in mind, body and spirit.
The pantry provides non-perishable food and personal items to meet short term needs to those living in the Waukee School District or those with approval from any supporting church.
Patrons will be asked to fill out a short form and go through a quick interview process. Food and personal items will then be given based on availability and family size. Services are confidential and private.
This time of year, our shelves at the food pantry begin to get more sparse, as we near the end of the supply from the holidays and as current donations slow down. Please remember to keep the pantry on your shopping list during the spring and summer months!
Recent news headlines have told us of the challenges many consumers face in our struggling economy. One poll this month showed that nearly half of Americans say food inflation is causing hardships for their households. Here at the food pantry, we see the real faces of people who are affected by the rising costs of food and energy.
15 new families have come through our doors in 2008, and in March we served a total of 58 families. With about 3000 food and hygiene items being provided to our patrons each month, we rely on the continuous generosity of our donors to keep our shelves stocked!
