At GraceWorks Ministries, our commitment is to nourish not only the bodies but also the spirits of our Neighbors. In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to come together and support one another with grace and dignity. That’s why our Food Pantry Services are designed with choice and respect at their core, offering two distinct ways to assist our neighbors: the Self-Select Food Pantry Service and the Curbside Food Pantry Service.
Self-Select Food Pantry Service: A Personal Touch
Imagine walking through aisles filled with nourishing food, picking items that you and your family love and need. That’s the experience the Self-Select Food Pantry Service offers. Here, we invite our neighbors to have an active role in selecting their groceries, adhering to our pantry guidelines. This service is much more than about food; it’s about providing a dignified shopping experience where our volunteers and staff are on hand to assist, answer questions, and ensure that each visit is filled with warmth and respect.
Signing up is easy – just visit our website to book your appointment. Please note, due to high demand, the current wait time is approximately 30 days. We see this as a testament to our community’s strength, supporting each other in times of need.
Curbside Food Pantry Service: Privacy with Care
We understand that everyone’s journey is different and respect the need for privacy. Our Curbside Food Pantry Service is tailored for those who may find themselves struggling with the idea of needing assistance or who wish for a more discreet way of receiving support. In this model, our compassionate volunteers and staff carefully select a variety of groceries and load them directly into your vehicle.
This option draws from the same shelves as our Self-Select service, ensuring quality and variety. With a significantly shorter wait time for appointments, which can be scheduled as early as next week, we hope to make access to food assistance as seamless as possible.
Joining Hands in Support
Both these services are rooted in our guiding principles of dignity, respect, and community support. By offering choices, we aim to cater to the diverse needs of our neighbors, ensuring that everyone feels supported and valued. Whether you choose the Self-Select or the Curbside option, know that you are welcomed and respected here.
To schedule your visit for either service, please head to our food assistance webpage. Together, we can make a difference, one meal, one smile at a time. Let’s continue to uphold the spirit of community and grace, ensuring that no one has to face hard times alone.
