We know bigger families have bigger needs, and we’re bringing back our large family extras to help make sure everyone has enough food on the table!

👶 BABY & TODDLER BOXES ARE COMING BACK!

We know how expensive it can be to raise little ones, and we want to help! Unfortunately, due to the cost and availability of baby and toddler supplies, we cannot offer these special boxes every distribution. However, our goal is to provide them at least once every few months, as donations and supplies allow.

We’ll announce when our next Baby & Toddler Box distribution is scheduled!

🎂🎉 DON’T FORGET OUR BIRTHDAY CAKE KITS!

Every child deserves to feel special on their birthday! We still offer Birthday Cake Kits to help families celebrate those special moments.

You must pre-order at least ONE WEEK in advance!

When ordering, please let us know:

* 🎂 Your preferred cake type
* 🧁 Your favorite frosting flavor

We want to help make birthdays a little sweeter for families in our community! ❤️

Our goal isn’t just to hand someone a box of food. It’s to provide families with a variety of nutritious foods, ease some financial burdens, and remind our neighbors that their community cares about them.

God continues to bless this pantry through our incredible donors, volunteers, and community partners. We couldn’t do this without you!

Neighbors helping neighbors, one family and one box at a time! ❤️

When I took over the Pantry about a year ago I was told the pantry and the church needs to be seperate. Many companies will not support the pantry if it is tied in with a church. I disagree. I believe God brought me here, I believe I followed exactly where I was led. When I started we gave away around 60 boxes a week. We do over 200 a now and just started a delivery program. We also started a prayer mission right in the pantry line. My well is full. Many of you don’t know I run a unhoused mission. Threads of Hope, the really nice thing is the pantry helps feed the unhoused as well.

❤️ FIVE LOAVES, TWO FISH, AND THOUSANDS FED! ❤️

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is found in Matthew 14:17–21.

Jesus had thousands of hungry people gathered around Him, and His disciples were worried about how they were going to feed everyone.

All they had were five loaves of bread and two fish.

But Jesus took what little they had, looked toward heaven, blessed it, and began feeding the people.

The Bible tells us that 5,000 men were fed, not including women and children! That means there could have been 10,000 or even more people that day!

And here’s the amazing part. Everyone ate until they were full, and there were still 12 baskets of food left over!

I think about this story often when I’m working at the New Carlisle Community Food Pantry.

Sometimes I look at our shelves, the number of families needing help, and the resources we have available, and I wonder how we’re going to make it all work.

But then I’m reminded of those five loaves and two fish.

God doesn’t ask us to have enough to feed everyone. He asks us to give what we have, trust Him, and let Him do the rest.
