Hope Center Pantry Mission Statement
In Chapter 25 of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us, “Whatsoever you do for the least of my sisters and brothers you do to me … for I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Our mission is to put God’s words into action with compassion, while respecting the dignity of all people who come to Hope Center Pantry regardless of race, status or creed.
Food: Hope Center Pantry is always in need of nutritious nonperishable food donations. These items can be brought to cooperating churches or to Hope Center Pantry during pantry hours.
Garden Produce: Garden produce is gladly accepted. We prefer to accept these fresh items on Monday or Tuesday during pantry hours.
Personal Hygiene Supplies: We welcome donations of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving cream, disposable razors, toilet tissue, sanitary napkins, tampons, etc.
Financial Donations: When the Hope Center Pantry inventory is low, we rely on financial donations to replenish the shelves. Hope Center Pantry is operated and managed entirely by volunteers, and building and property overhead costs are covered by the supporting parishes. Financial donations are primarily used to purchase food or to preserve and distribute the supplies to our clients.
