Asbury’s Food Pantry opened during the summer of 2011 with limited food choices and pre-packed bags. Today clients receive 25+ items from a wide variety of choices and get to do their own shopping.
Asbury’s Food Pantry is solely operated through generous monetary donations and funds allocated by the Missions in Action program. Food donations are also provided by Asbury members and different community groups that have food drives. If you would like to make a donation, food pantry items (non-perishables) can be dropped off outside the pantry doors from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, or brought on Sunday mornings.
