🥭🍌 We still have mangoes and bananas left from distribution last night!

If you can use some, feel free to stop by and pick some up. Please take some for yourself and share some with others.
We would love for the extra produce to be a blessing to our community. 💛

FRIENDS!

Tomorrow is distribution day, and we still have volunteer spots to fill.

Right now, we need:

🕣 4 volunteers from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM
🕜 6 volunteers from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
🕓 17 volunteers from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Whether you’re a student needing service hours, a retiree looking to give back, a church group, a business team, or someone who simply wants to help their community, we’d love to have you.

You don’t need experience.

Just a willing heart and a couple of hours.

Tomorrow, hundreds of families will drive through our distribution line. Every volunteer helps us move a little faster, serve a little better, and make sure families leave with a smile.

Our monthly food distribution begins at 4:00PM, but the work starts much earlier, and help is needed throughout the day.

And yes, we are a little late getting this posted, but volunteer sign ups for June are open.

Our June distribution is coming up on Tuesday, June 16, and we would love to have you serve with us.

There is a lot that happens before and during distribution. Food gets organized, traffic gets directed, vehicles get loaded, and families are served.

If you have a couple of hours to give, there is a place for you.

One of our favorite days of the month is almost here! 💚

On Tuesday, May 19, we will once again be serving families in Franklin County, and we are getting everything ready behind the scenes now.

Every month, this community shows up in the best ways. Churches, businesses, students, retirees, friends, families, and first time volunteers all come together to help make distribution day happen.

And honestly… it takes a village.

If you have ever thought about jumping in and helping, this is a great month to do it.

You do not have to volunteer all day. Even a couple of hours makes a huge difference, and there is a place for everyone.

For years, our community has known us as the Ozark Church Food Pantry.

What began as a way to help families with food has grown into churches, businesses, volunteers, and neighbors coming together to care for Franklin County in some truly incredible ways.

As this ministry has grown, we knew it was time to take the next step forward.

✨ 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄… 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 ✨
Where faith meets community.

The Pantry is now its own official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This allows us to provide tax deductible donation documentation while opening the door for more grants, partnerships, sponsorships, and opportunities to better serve families across our community.

While the name is changing, the heart behind this ministry is not.

This has always been about people coming together to make sure no one faces hard seasons alone.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for serving, giving, volunteering, and believing in this mission. We are incredibly grateful for where we have been and excited for what comes next. 💚

Not everyone can do everything.

But everyone can do something. 💚

Some people volunteer after work to help serve families. Some churches organize teams to come help during distributions. Some businesses donate supplies, sponsor drives, or partner with us behind the scenes. Some people give financially so food can continue reaching families across Franklin County.

Every role matters.

Because this has never been about one person carrying the weight alone.

It has always been about people coming together to care for their community.

As we continue growing, our hope is to build even stronger partnerships throughout Franklin County and create more ways for people to step in, serve, and make a difference together.
