Storehouse Food Pantry

The Storehouse Ministry is dedicated to people in need of food assistance. We are a partner agency with Second Harvest Food Bank. Through them, we receive a variety of donations which include bread/pastries, frozen meats, fresh produce and more. We rarely receive dry goods and pantry items. This is where **YOU CAN HELP…**
First, **we are in need of more volunteers** to help distribute the food from 2pm - 5pm on Mondays and 2pm - 4pm on Tuesdays. Contact the office at office@nocc.org to volunteer.
Also we are in the process of redesigning our distribution to allow our guests more independence in choosing the foods that they want. To make this happen, a **full pantry** is needed. We are looking for a steady flow of dry goods/pantry items. Dry beans/rice, cereal, canned vegs, soups/soup mixes, peanut butter, pasta etc. are needed.
Alongside our food & volunteer needs, we are also currently seeking **summer clothing** donations. As the weather continues to grow hotter, we want to be able to provide people with cool, lightweight, and breathable clothing instead of the winter clothing we currently have. Food and clothing donations can be brought to the office Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm, or bring any donations with you to service on Sunday.
*"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in" Matthew 23:35*

One Night Wednesday Summer Break

Our weekly One Night Wednesday has officially closed for the season. In the meantime, please note that while One Night Wednesday is on break, the **youth group** (7th-12th grades) **will continue meeting** regularly throughout the summer.
We hope you have a wonderful and refreshing summer, and we look forward to reconnecting with you in the September! God bless!
