The Gold cart trophy is back at the food pantry for the summer! First Baptist church says, " You will just have to bring it back!" Lol! What do you think guys?! Are they going to win again? Over the years, the trophy has only visited 3 churches. St. Joseph's, United Methodist, and First Baptist. The last 3 years in a row have been First Baptist though. Have fun!

We had an abundance of food come in for our first week of the friendly summer church competition. Usually the first week doesn't do as good as people forget. This is the best year we've had, starting out. This week was lunchables, cheese, lunch meat,etc. As always we will list the top 3. This time we have ties for both 1st and 2nd place!

1st: First Baptist & United Methodist
2nd: Church of God & Trinity Lutheran
3rd: Nazarene

We have 9 churches participating this year! Thank you and God Bless to everyone!

It is that time of the year where we begin our friendly church competition! We collect items to give extra food to families with school aged children for the summer. This year we have 9 churches participating. This Sunday is lunchables, lunch meat, cheese, etc. if you'd like to donate, but don't belong to one of the 9 churches, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Our volunteers are ready and eager. Don't forget our annual Postal food drive is today!

05/09/2026

Don't forget to leave out food!

Today’s the day! 🌅📬 Letter carriers across the country are heading out on their routes with one extra mission: collecting your donations for the Food Drive.

If you haven’t already, there’s still time to help! Just leave a bag of nonperishable food by your mailbox before your carrier arrives. Every can, every box, every bag helps stock local food pantries and put meals on the table for families facing hunger.

For more than 30 years, NALC members have proudly led this effort while continuing to serve their communities on their regular routes. Today, we’re grateful for every carrier stepping up and every neighbor lending a hand. Let’s make a difference together!

Thank you to the community! Maximilian collected 1,350 cans of tuna!!!! This year the most a single individual donated was 175 cans. We even had a lady come all the way from Spring Valley because she saw it in the newspaper. Thank you again, this will last us a year where the food pantry will not have to purchase tuna. We are overwhelmed by the generosity!

Canned Tuna fish drive going on now! It ends at 11 and Maximilian's goal is 1200 cans! He is currently at 808 cans of tuna with 50 minutes to go! Please help him get to his goal. Thank you!
