Today, (with help from 16 volunteers) and LOTS of donations, Corner Provisions food pantry at First Baptist Church provided food assistance to 66 local households with a total of 221 individuals. Approximately 15% of people in Watauga County experience food insecurity at any given point in time. Without assistance, many families are forced to choose between food and things like, fuel, medications, medical treatment, children's field trips, cleaning supplies, etc. This is a tremendous ministry, but now WE need YOUR help restocking our shelves.
What do we need?
(Almost) ALL the things:
-canned meats
-canned fruits
-baking goods
-spaghetti o's
-salad dressings
-cereal
-shelf stable milk
-breakfast items (pancake mix, syrup, grits, oatmeal)
-pasta noodles and sauces that aren't mac-n-cheese
-canned veggies that aren't green beans or corn
-hearty soups/stews
Things we DON'T need at this time due to generous donations from Lowe's that keeps us stocked,
-macaroni and cheese
-black beans
-applesauce
-green beans
-corn
First Baptist Church and Corner Provisions appreciates every single item, dollar, and minute of time that is donated to helping this minsitry be a success. Thank you to each person who has contribued in any way! We cherish you.
