Food Pantry

Serving our local community.

The Food Pantry is a ministry of First Baptist Church & The Lakefront Church that services those in need.
Individuals, as well as families who are suffering from hunger, can receive a variety of groceries including fresh foods, canned goods, boxed staples, and frozen meats.
The ministry also readily accepts food donations all year.  

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
