Serving others
Mobile Food Pantry
On the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month we host a Mobile Food Pantry, in partnership with St. Mary’s Food Bank, in our parking lot. Produce, and other food items, are brought to us by a St. Mary's Food Bank truck on these Saturday mornings. Everything is then distributed, by volunteers, to members of the community. Distribution starts at 8:00 AM, but can vary depending on the delivery of items, and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Distribution will be available until 9:30 AM, unless food runs out. This program is free and open to all!
Due to possible changes in schedule, please check our calendar for up-to-date pantry dates or contact the church office at myccumc1@gmail.com or (623)932-3480.
Volunteers are always welcome to assist us! If you would like to volunteer, please arrive in our parking lot between 7:00 and 7:30 AM.
