People’s Pantry

1 in 3 people in Santa Cruz County are food insecure. People’s Pantry exists to share Christ’s love through meeting the practical need of food.

Need Help?

We have a drive-thru distribution on every Wednesday (rain or shine) from 3:45 to 5:15 PM in our TLC parking lot behind Monschke Hall. Follow the signs near the construction site on campus. There is no need to register ahead of time. We give away a dry bag of goods, a bag of fresh produce, bread, and a protein source (meat, eggs, milk or the like).

If you would like to donate food, you can drop off your donations in the People's Pantry barrel in the church office lobby Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 4 PM or the sanctuary lobby barrels on the weekends during the services.

Presently, I have enough volunteers for this ministry.  I cannot take anymore volunteers.
