In an effort to combat food insecurity, the Brookside Church in Middletown hosts a food pantry every Thursday night from 18:00 to 20:00. Located at 2425 First St., this initiative aims to support local residents who are struggling to access sufficient food supplies.
The food pantry serves as a vital resource for families and individuals facing economic challenges in the community. Volunteers from the church work diligently to gather, organize, and distribute food items to those in need. The program not only provides essential groceries but also fosters a sense of community among attendees.
Every week, the pantry offers a selection of non-perishable items, fresh produce, and other essential goods. Local residents are encouraged to visit and take advantage of the resources available to them. The initiative highlights the importance of community support and collaboration in addressing food scarcity.
According to representatives from Brookside Church, the food pantry has seen an increase in attendance since its inception. The program’s success reflects the growing need for food assistance in the area. The church is committed to continuing this service and expanding its outreach efforts to reach even more individuals and families.
Community members are welcome to donate food items or volunteer their time to help with operations. The church encourages anyone interested in supporting the pantry to reach out for more information. By coming together, the community can work towards alleviating hunger and ensuring that no one goes without food.
The Brookside Church food pantry stands as a testament to the power of local initiatives in addressing pressing social issues. As the need for food assistance continues to rise, the church remains dedicated to providing support and resources to its neighbors.
