Freedom Center Food Pantry

05/08/2026

Hey friends — we could really use some extra hands this Saturday for the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive benefiting the Freedom Center Food Pantry!

This food drive is a HUGE blessing to the pantry and helps provide a lot of unique items we normally don’t always receive or can’t easily purchase. Every bag of food collected helps feed local families right here in our community.

Two ways you can help:

• 9:30 AM — Appleton Post Office (around back)
Go inside and they’ll assign you a neighborhood route. You’ll drive around collecting donated food from mailboxes and bring it back to the post office.

• 10:45 AM — this is where we really need strong helpers, Freedom Center Food Pantry
Help unload, sort, and organize all the food donations as they arrive.

Even a couple hours makes a big difference. Bring a friend, wear comfy clothes, and come ready to serve our community in Jesus’ name.

Thanks everyone!

A huge thank you dear friends for the kindness and love that you have shown to our neighbors in need of help with food!

Thanks to your generosity, in the first quarter of 2026 (January-March), Freedom Center Food Pantry was able to serve approximately 4,656 individuals across 2,013 households through our drive-thru box pickups and indoor shopping. These families received a variety of nutritious items, including fresh produce, dairy, meat, non-perishables, and essential toiletries like paper goods and diapers.

With your help and support, we will be able to continue to provide this needed food and other items! You are a huge blessing!

Jesus teaches that as we live in His love and obey Him by loving one another, we experience His full, abundant joy. (John 15: 10-12)

May His joy be in you, and your joy be full

I was told believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.

Two simple words.
Taught early.
Used often.

They opened doors.
Softened moments.
Showed respect.

Manners weren’t optional.
They were part of everyday life.

They cost nothing.
But they meant everything.

Maybe it’s time
to bring those small lessons back
and make them normal again.

At Golden Hair I truly believe beauty goes beyond the chair 💚
We are just 6 days away from the very first Operation Freedom Shelves pop-up food drive at Greenville Pub , and I couldn’t be more proud to be part of a community that shows up for one another.
If you’re coming in for an appointment this week, feel free to bring along a few non-perishable items and I’ll make sure they get added to the donation box.
Let’s help stock the shelves at Freedom Center Food Pantry and make a real difference together 🌿✨

Dear friends,

Through the help of friends like you, the LORD continues to show his compassion, loving-kindness and faithfulness toward those in need! January 27th marks 16 years serving the hungry in our community! We are so grateful to all of you who have given from your heart to those in need with your prayer, time and financial and food support! Jesus said that when we do this, then we are clean both inside and out (Luke 11:41)! With your help, in the fourth quarter of this year (2025) (October, November, December), we were able to serve a total of 2,044 households and 4,568 individuals!

In the year 2025 we served a total of 8,838 households and 18,696 individuals and averaged 180 households per week! We thank God for you all– for your help with your time, donations and prayer for us and our guests over these years. Thank you!

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good thing you do or say.” 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
