We give all glory and honor to God! 🙌

Because of His faithfulness and the incredible support from our community, we are beyond grateful to announce that Englewood Food Pantry now officially has a permanent home!

This is more than a building—it’s a place of hope, healing, and help for so many families. Every prayer, every donation, every volunteer hour has brought us to this moment, and we thank each and every one of you for standing with us.

But the truth is… the work is just beginning.

As we step into this new chapter, the need is still great. We are asking for your continued prayers, support, and partnership so we can keep serving our community, feeding families, and being a light to those in need.

Together, we didn’t just reach a milestone—we built a foundation for something even greater.

💛 Thank you for believing
🙏 Thank you for giving
🏡 And thank you for helping us create a place to call home

Today, we just want to say thank you.

To our incredible community — your support, your generosity, your prayers, and your belief in what we do at Englewood Food Pantry means more than words can express. Because of you, lives are being touched every single week.

While we didn’t fully reach our original fundraising goal, we are beyond grateful to share that we raised enough to purchase the building. This is a huge step forward for our mission and a lasting investment in serving our community for years to come.

This wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you.

As we move forward, we ask that you continue to stand with us. Your ongoing support is vital to our ability to provide food, clothing, hot meals, counseling, and hope to those who need it most.

We are just getting started.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for believing in us and walking this journey with us.

This is the constant harassment I am dealing with an a person intentionally trying to harm our organization if you have been to Indian Mound Park you realize how wide, easily 30 ft between our two cars,that area is and I have been parking in that spot for over a year on Tuesday night. But you see the careful way the picture was taken to make a false narrative

Good morning everyone. To dispel more lies we are not closing the doors.

The wonderful persons Kelly and Rene that do Saturday meals is still doing it at Englewood Food Pantry.

We had planed to start some Saturday classes but I did not cancel them. The person heading up the classes has bowed out due to turmoil being caused and who can blame her.

Jesus says in his sermon on the mount even unbelievers love the people that love them but the true test of being a Christian is to love people that hate you.

So to the person who has caused all this strife we love you! Forgive you! And pray for healing.

I want to be clear that none of that resolves a person from the consequences of their actions. We just pray that healing will come a long with it.

Truth, Grace, and Accountability

In recent days, false and defamatory statements have been made online regarding myself (Keith Whitworth), Director of the Englewood Food Pantry. These claims are untrue and harmful to all persons involved, both personally and professionally.

As servants of God, we are choosing to respond from a place of faith, truth, and wisdom and not retaliation.

Let us be clear: the continued spread of false information, whether intentional or reckless, carries serious legal consequences. We are actively documenting all statements and reserve the right to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to protect our name, our business, and the work we have built in our community.

We live in a time where words travel quickly, but truth, character, and integrity are proven over time.

Through our service at the Englewood Food Pantry and our work in the community, our lives have been committed to helping others, standing for integrity, and operating with accountability and transparency. That foundation will not be shaken by false narratives.

At the same time, we recognize something deeper: the importance of mental and emotional health. Sometimes harmful words come from places of pain, confusion, or brokenness. While that does not excuse the behavior, it does point to the need for healing, accountability, and, when necessary, professional support.

We also want to be clear in our standards moving forward: those who seek personal recognition, influence, or self-glory rather than serving with a heart aligned to God’s purpose are not operating in the spirit of this mission. The Englewood Food Pantry is a place of service, humility, and integrity. Individuals who do not align with these values will not be permitted to serve in a volunteer capacity within this initiative.

We understand that opposition often comes when meaningful, God-led work is being done. The enemy does not attack what is ordinary or without purpose, it resists what is aligned with God’s will. We take this not as discouragement, but as confirmation that God is leading this work and remains at the forefront of the Englewood Food Pantry.

As people of faith, we choose:
• Truth over noise
• Accountability over avoidance
• Prayer over public conflict
• Healing over bitterness

Grace is not the absence of truth, and forgiveness does not eliminate responsibility.

We stand firmly in who we are, in our faith, and in the life we have built through service, integrity, and love for others. We will not engage in public back-and-forth, but we will protect what is right with wisdom and, if necessary, legal action.

To those reading or forming opinions, we encourage you to seek truth, extend discernment, and remember that behind every post are real people, real families, and real lives.

We will continue moving forward in faith, trusting that truth stands, integrity endures, and justice will prevail.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.” — Isaiah 54:17

Good morning everyone I want to adress something to squash any rumors coming out.

We had a volunteer helping us to raise money. This person was not good at taking directions and understanding that ultimately I am responsible for Englewood Food Pantry. I feel this person was in it more for the personal glory.

After being told that this person and Englewood Food Pantry would be separating any ties. This person went and cancelled our radio slot behind our back that was strictly vindictive. I do not like to post stuff like this but I want to be transparent and get a head of the rumor mill.
