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 have 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.
The Wesley Evening Food Pantry is run by volunteers under the direction of Katie Thomas.
