Our group is getting older and can certainly use some younger energy from time to time. We’d appreciate any time you can devote to this. Even if you can join us just once a month or so.

This is a monthly event taking place on the last Saturday of each month providing free food for local Manteca area residents in need. Just bring your ID and names and birth dates for any household members. This is a drive through event where you don’t even need to get out of your car after you’ve been here once and completed the intake form. . (Please use the Powers Ave. driveway to enter the parking lot).

If you’re looking to volunteer at our Food Pantry, there are lots of different jobs to be done, both on our distribution day as well as during the month.. Some of the jobs are once a week for 2-3 hours doing things like bagging groceries or helping with loading and unloading from a shopping trip, and some (like working on distribution day) are just once a month for a few hours. Please contact Steve Parsons at (209) 606-4124.

Doorkeepers

An outdoor experience! This group meets in the gardens weekly on Friday mornings to keep our church grounds looking beautiful. They keep up with the many small (and some not-so-small) gardening maintenance tasks. If you love to rake, weed, prune, maybe tinker or just get your fingers in the dirt, we’d love to have you join us! Our group is getting older and can certainly use some younger energy from time to time. We’d appreciate any time you can devote to this. Even if you can join us just once a month or so.
