🚨 OUR SHELVES ARE NEARLY EMPTY — AND OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS US. 🚨

These pictures are hard to share, but we want you to see the reality: our food pantry shelves are almost bare.

And this is happening at the time of year when we see a dramatic increase in families and individuals coming to us for food assistance. 💔

We need YOUR help to restock our pantry and make sure no one in our community has to go without a meal.

🥫 WE NEED EVERYTHING, INCLUDING:

🍝 Macaroni & cheese
🥣 Cereal, oatmeal & grits
🥞 Pancake mix & syrup
🍲 Soups
🥫 Ravioli & other canned meals
🐟 Tuna & canned chicken
🥫 Green beans, corn & ALL canned vegetables
🫘 Canned beans
🍝 Pasta, spaghetti noodles & spaghetti sauce
🥜 Peanut butter
🍓 Jelly
🍑 Canned fruits

Every can. Every box. Every jar. Every donation makes a difference.

If you're able, please consider picking up one or two extra items during your next grocery trip and donating them to our food pantry. A small contribution from many people can turn these empty shelves into a pantry full of hope. ❤️

Donation drop off hours:
Monday-Wednesday 8:00am - 2:00pm
Thursday 8:00am-3:30pm

If you are not able to get to the store and still want to help we have an amazon list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TF1T9SV4ETZY?ref_=wl_share

📣 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! You may not be able to donate, but someone you know might be able to.

Our neighbors are counting on us. Let's fill these shelves back up — together. 🛒❤️

❤️ Our Christmas Assistance Program Is Full — But the Need Continues ❤️

We are so incredibly grateful to share that all 95 of our available spaces for children’s Christmas assistance have been filled! Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help make Christmas a little brighter for local families. Your generosity means so much to us!

But it’s only October 13, and we know the calls for help will continue coming in throughout October and November. While we are currently at capacity, there are still families who will reach out in the coming weeks, hoping to make Christmas special for their children.

This is where YOU can make a difference! 🎄❤️

If you would like to sponsor a child in full, we would love to hear from you! Full sponsors will receive a child’s wish list for a family seeking Christmas assistance. Please email [email protected] to become a sponsor.

If sponsoring a child in full isn’t possible for you, you can still make a tremendous difference by giving a donation to help us assist more families as needs arise. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps us bring hope, joy, and a little Christmas magic to a child who might otherwise go without.

🎁 Want to help? Here’s how:

Sponsor a child: Email [email protected] to receive a child’s wish list.

Make a donation: Use the Zeffy link below to give toward Christmas assistance and help us reach families still waiting for support.

For families seeking assistance:

We are currently full, and any additional sponsorships received will be used to work our way down the waitlist as we are able.

Thank you for your incredible kindness, continued support, and patience as we navigate the growing need in our community. We are so thankful for each and every one of you who helps make this season brighter for local children and families.

Let’s continue to come together and make sure as many children as possible experience the joy of Christmas. There is still a great need, and together, we can make a difference! ❤️🎄🎁

🎄 EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHRISTMAS 🎄As we begin preparing for the Christmas season, we are reminded of the greatest gift ever given — Jesus Christ.…

❤️ Help Us Provide Emergency Utility Assistance ❤️

We have recently seen an influx of families in our community seeking assistance with their utility bills. As the need continues to grow, we want to make sure we have the funds available to help families facing larger, emergency situations.

We’re asking our community to come alongside us and help us build our Utility Assistance Fund so that when a family is facing a utility crisis, we can provide as much assistance as possible.

If you feel led to give, you can make a donation through the Zeffy campaign link below. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps us be there for a family when they need it most.

If you would prefer to mail or drop off a donation at Iredell Christian Ministries, simply mark your donation “Utility Assistance” so we can make sure it goes toward this specific need.

Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors and for being part of the work God has called ICM to do. ❤️

Together, we can help keep the lights on and provide hope during difficult times.

And the best part? Every item you purchase helps provide fresh produce to local families in need!

Here's how it works:

💙 $5 from every item sold comes directly to ICM.
🎯 Our goal is to sell 750 items!
🥦 Funds raised will be used to purchase fresh produce to distribute to our ICM clients.

📅 ORDERING

October 1st–15th

Orders can be placed:
• Online through Zeffy
• In person at Iredell Christian Ministries

📦 PICKUP

If you don't need another meal in your freezer but still want to support the fundraiser, simply purchase an item to donate. Those items will be distributed to ICM clients in our community.

Whether you're stocking your own freezer, picking up something sweet, or donating a meal to a family in need, every purchase makes a difference.

Let's see if we can reach our goal of 750 items and turn freezer space into fresh produce for our neighbors!
