You may know that Tomoka Christian Church has a food pantry, but you may not realize the impact that this ministry has on our church and community. In the 3rd quarter of 2011, the food pantry served 609 families, 1,608 individuals, and gave over 35 lbs of food to each family. During this time, 2,600 lbs worth of food was provided to individuals who came into the church office in need of food and received a bag of groceries. The Food Pantry also provides meals to the following ministries:
- The Palmetto House – Friday night meal
- Sandwich ministry – provides desserts
- Tuesday Church lunch
- Mission meals served in the café
- Food supplement for the Alliance Church homeless program
- Thursday night hot meal served at the Daytona Outreach Center
Donations of non-perishable food items can be brought to the food pantry basket on the mission wall in the café. They can also always use plastic shopping bags. Please remember this vital ministry in your prayers.
