❤️💛 A HUGE Thank You! 💛❤️

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Walnut Grove Baptist Church and Saline Ridge Baptist Church for their incredible generosity and support of Heaven's Kitchen Food Pantry!

The two Missionary Baptist churches joined together this year for Vacation Bible School and welcomed more than 50 children. As part of their VBS mission project, the children collected mission money and chose to donate it to Heaven's Kitchen. Shown in the photo is Callie Medin from Heaven’s Kitchen accepting the check.

What a blessing it is to see young people learning the importance of helping others and giving back to their community. Every dollar donated will help us continue providing groceries to families facing food insecurity right here in our area.

To all of the children, volunteers, church leaders, and families who made this possible—thank you for your kindness, compassion, and servant hearts. You are making a difference in the lives of so many people.

We are truly blessed by your support and grateful to have such caring churches investing in our community. ❤️

Now let's talk about last night's pantry! ❤️

We were incredibly blessed to have an amazing group from Dorrisville Baptist Church join us! Youth Minister Trey Reamer brought a wonderful crew of youth and parents who spent the afternoon and evening serving alongside us. What a fantastic group of workers! They jumped right in and helped with everything imaginable—filling grocery bags, sorting donations, putting food away, decorating bags, carrying groceries to vehicles, and everything in between. Their servant hearts and positive attitudes were such a blessing, and we can't wait to welcome them back again!

A big thank you also goes out to our delivery team. Lisa covered the RIDES bus route, while Sean and Lucas took care of our second delivery route. We were also happy to see Aiden and Serenity last night as well!

We were grateful to have Lynda with Sisters Rise Womens Ministry set up an informational table and spend time visiting with our pantry families as they came through.

While we didn't have a produce delivery this week, we were still able to fill our giveaway tables with lots of extra items in addition to each family's groceries. We were especially thankful for a sweet mother and son who came and shared fresh homegrown lettuce and squash with our pantry guests. What a wonderful blessing! We would also like to thank Shawnee Hills Antique Mall for once again donating eggs for our families.

Every week, we are reminded of how amazing this community is and how many people come together to help us "Feed the Need."

And now the countdown is on! We have just ONE MORE pantry before our BIG Summer Block Party on June 30! 🎉

Trust us—you won't want to miss it! Come hungry because there will be lots of delicious food being cooked and served right in the parking lot, along with free resources, giveaways, activities, and so much more. It's going to be an incredible evening of fun, fellowship, and community!

We can't wait to see you there! ☀️🛒❤️

Last week was another wonderful night at Heaven’s Kitchen Food Pantry, and we’re a little behind on sharing all the blessings! Last night was great and we look forward to sharing that post separately later today!

We were incredibly grateful to have an amazing volunteer team from Ferrell Hospital join us. Not only did they help at the pantry, but they also stepped up to handle our RIDES bus deliveries, helping ensure groceries reached those who are unable to come in person.

A huge thank you as well to Amanda and Janet, who each took a delivery route, and to Austin for making the trip to pick up the wonderful fresh produce that we were able to share with our pantry families. We truly couldn't do this without our dedicated volunteers!

Before pantry even began, we were blessed to share even more Bibles with members of our community. It is always a joy to provide not only food for the body, but encouragement for the soul as well.

Last week, we were able to provide groceries to:
🥫 128 Families
❤️ 301 Individuals
👧 88 Children

Every week we are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve so many families in our community. Thank you to our volunteers, donors, and supporters who make this ministry possible. Together, we continue to Feed the Need!

This morning was our monthly delivery from the Tri-State Food Bank, and what a blessing it was!

We had purchased a large order and were so thankful to have some extra helping hands. A huge thank you to Tom, Lauren, Connie, and Mykkandha from Peoples National Bank for joining us this morning. They were a tremendous help unloading and putting away refrigerated and frozen items so everything could be stored properly and quickly. Not only were they a blessing physically but they were so encouraging!

We also want to give a special shout-out to New Hope Christian Academy for allowing us to use their coolers for overflow storage until Tuesday. With an incredible 1,620 pounds of milk arriving in this shipment, we could not store it all. Their partnership is invaluable!

Of course, we couldn’t do any of this without our amazing Heaven’s Kitchen volunteers. Thank you to Amy, Callie, Jen, and Dana for alwYs being there for the hard work! 💪

We are continually humbled by the way our community comes together to help us “Feed the Need.” God is so good, and we are grateful for every person who plays a part in this mission. ❤️

💙 Our 𝗪𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 is TONIGHT and every Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Our doors open at 4:00 PM, however, you do 𝘕𝘖𝘛 need to arrive that early. 👉 No numbers will 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 be called before 5:00 PM. In fact, many neighbors have found that if they arrive around 5:40 PM, they can often come right in with little to no wait and move straight through. Once we start calling numbers, we move very quickly. 💙 (𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝟺𝟶𝟺 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨, 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘔𝘝.)
🚗 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫
For safety reasons, our small parking lot is reserved for volunteers only, who will not be moving their vehicles during pantry hours. We are incredibly grateful to New Hope Christian Academy, who generously allows us to use their entire parking lot every Tuesday evening — truly a “Walmart-sized” lot with plenty of space!
Please 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬 in neighboring lots (DMV, Mariner Finance, RP Lumber, Day Care, etc.), as those are not to be used for Heaven’s Kitchen and we don’t want anyone to risk being towed.
❤️ 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, we are a 𝘞𝘌𝘌𝘒𝘓𝘠 food pantry. That means you can come visit us every single week if you need to do so. We look forward to seeing you!

Heaven's Kitchen Food Pantry would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Natalie and Dalton from The Unit Tattoo in McLeansboro for their generous donation of Bibles to our pantry!

We are incredibly grateful for their kindness and their desire to help us provide not only physical nourishment, but also spiritual encouragement to those we serve. These Bibles will be a blessing to many individuals and families in our community and are offered before pantry begins each week.

Natalie and Dalton have an amazing testimony and a powerful story of faith and redemption. If you have a few moments, we encourage you to check out their video and hear firsthand how God has worked in their lives. https://www.tiktok.com/.to.worship/video/7618378994869701918

Thank you again for your generosity, your servant hearts, and for helping us share hope with others. We appreciate you more than you know! 🙏📖

🌟 Another Great Night at Heaven's Kitchen! 🌟

Last night was another wonderful Tuesday at Heaven's Kitchen Food Pantry as we continued our mission to help feed our community!

A big thank you to our volunteer group, Walking Free, for spending their evening serving alongside us. We are so grateful for your helping hands and servant hearts!

Lisa was busy covering the bus route, while Amanda took care of our second delivery route.

We'd also like to thank Megan for bringing us another generous donation of eggs this week. Fresh eggs are always a blessing and are greatly appreciated by our pantry families.

A very special thank you goes to Bob and Austin, who spent much of their day traveling to pick up not one, but two truckloads of food and supplies for the pantry. They brought back fresh produce and eggs that were distributed last night, along with the french fries that will be included in our 4th of July Cookout-Themed Grocery Bags during our Summer Block Party on Tuesday, June 30th. Their willingness to give up an entire day to make these trips is a sacrifice that doesn't go unnoticed. We are incredibly thankful for their dedication and commitment to helping us serve others.

Last night, together, we were able to bless:

❤️ 158 Families
❤️ 368 Individuals
❤️ 89 Children

It takes an army of volunteers, donors, and supporters to make Heaven's Kitchen possible, and we are thankful for every one of you!

📢 Is your business, church, civic group, club, or organization interested in volunteering for one Tuesday evening? We'd love to have you join us! Send us a message and let's discuss available dates. It's a wonderful way to give back, serve your community, and make a difference in the lives of local families.

Together, we can continue to "Feed the Need!" 💙🍎🥫

Even when several of our core Heaven's Kitchen volunteers were away enjoying a well-deserved vacation together last Tuesday on May 26th, our incredible volunteer team stepped up in a big way!

A special thank you goes out to the amazing volunteers from Ferrell Hospital. Every time they come, they jump right in, work hard, and help get the job done. We truly cannot thank them enough!

We'd also like to thank Megan Gibson for her generous donation of eggs. Fresh eggs are always a welcome addition to our pantry and are greatly appreciated by the families we serve.

Lisa was busy covering the bus route while Sean handled the other delivery route.

The rainy weather didn't stop us from making an impact. Together, we were able to bless:

❤️ 153 Families
❤️ 383 Individuals
❤️ 116 Children

We are so thankful for every volunteer, donor, and supporter who helps us continue to "Feed the Need" in our community. It truly takes a village, and we are blessed with the very best!
