Jesus has commissioned all Christians to feed, to cloth, to care for
the widows, the orphans, the thirsty, the hungry and those who are
in prison. Our missions outreach should be local, national and
international in scope.
CommUNITY Church is honored to partner with the Food Pantry in
feeding families in need in the Roanoke and Salem area of
Southwestern Virginia. We have been blessed with faithful
givers who bring their excess each Sunday to contribute to the
inventory of the Food Pantry. Over the months we have been
able to contribute hundreds of pounds of canned and boxed
goods. Jenny McCormick of the Salem Food Pantry writes:
"Last year we saw record numbers again as we
continue to serve during a hard economy. In fact, the demand for our
services increased 92% in the last two years. The Food Pantry served
12,192 people in 2009 up from 6319 in 2007. Despite growing
pains, we know the Lord is with us every step of the way. We are
grateful that He knows our needs and uses every step of the way.
Below is a list of how CommUNITY Church made a difference in many
lives right here in our community.
- Groceries 4596.5 lbs
-
Volunteers 2
- Volunteer Hours 38
On behalf of our clients, thank you and may God bless
you all during the new year."
