Brook Baptist Food Pantry Needs Some Help

Here are some ways you can assist the Brook Baptist Church - Food Pantry Ministry

Current Needs at Brook Baptist Church

September 14, 2012

Fall Festival:                             Block party trailer

                                               3-4 volunteers to help distribute

                                                invitations in our community

4 or 5 volunteers (2 women would be great) to help set up, staff, tear down (We will have lots of volunteers as well.)

Loaves and Fishes Food Ministry:

 Monday or Wednesday a.m. pick ups at local grocery stores (usually between 8 and 10 a.m.)     1-3 volunteers

 Monday packing bags, boxes (between 4 and 7 p.m.).                                                             2-4 volunteers

 Wednesday intake of clients (2:45-5:00 p.m. shift or 4:45-7:00 p.m. shift)                             1-3 volunteers

 Wednesday monitoring of shopping tables (2:45-5:00 p.m. shift or 4:45-7:00 p.m. shift)         1-3 volunteers

 A volunteer at your church willing to gather plastic or paper grocery bags from your members (a constant 

 need as we use between 4 and 500 per week!)

Financial support: 

            Our budget is really very low considering the fact that we distribute over 35,000 lbs. of food per

            month to approximately 600 families.

            If we had greater income, we could purchase healthier food items.  1 in 5 children in America are food

            insecure at some point during the year, but 1 in 3 are obese!

            In addition, our utility costs are very high since we are working in the church building so much.

            Greater income would also give us the opportunity to purchase and distribute more Bibles and

            evangelistic material in other languages since we have a number of other cultures represented in our

            clientele.
