Ash Wednesday Service next Wednesday, February 17 at 6pm Wesley Food Pantry -- Thursday, February 18th The Wesley Evening Food Pantry began as a response to a community need for a food pantry with evening hours. Since November 2006 the Wesley Evening Food Pantry has provided groceries, health, education, and human services for area residences on the third Thursday of the month. The ultimate goal of the Wesley Evening Food Pantry is for everyone in our community to having enough food to eat - resulting in no need for the pantry. Until that goal is reached, each month we strive: To provide a week's worth of food to assist people through the end of the month when paychecks and Food Stamps may be low To schedule the food pantry in the evening to accommodate work and school responsibilities To respect self-determination as participants select their own food choices that match their family's needs To provide regular resource centers of information, referral, and health consultation To train volunteers regarding both procedures and the operational values of respect, access, and choice To address the root causes of hunger for our particular set of clients.
