Christian
Community Outreach maintains a community operated
food pantry to help meet the needs of local families. The
"Fairlawn Community Food
Pantry" is staffed
entirely by volunteers from area churches and
businesses!
Monthly Food
Distribution!
Food Ministry
Services! Once each month Sure Foundation Fellowship devotes the
midweek worship service to distributing food to needy families in
our area. The food boxes are filled with canned foods,
packaged food, frozen meats, fresh produce, and USDA
commodities. Boxes are distributed immediately following our
regular worship service. Each individual has the opportunity
to receive ministry in worship, prayer and the Word of God!
Ministry
Dates! The monthly Food
Ministry is conducted on the fourth Thursday of each month.
Special Holiday Food Boxes are prepared on the third Thursday for
the months of November and December. Worship services
begin at 7:00 pm.
Income Requirements! Food boxes are distributed "first come first
served" to area residents who receive income at or below USDA
minimum income guidelines.
Sample Food Box! A typical food box may contain from 30-35 items with a
retail value ranging from $50
- $75.
Emergency Food Allocation! Emergency
food boxes are distributed on an as needed basis to families that
show special circumstances which require immediate
attention. Boxes containing
non-USDA items are available to those families with urgent need who
do not qualify for USDA commodities. Delivery is available
only under special circumstances.
Funding! The "Fairlawn Community Food Pantry" is funded
entirely by contributions from local churches, businesses and
individuals. Gifts and donations are appreciated and can be
forwarded to:
