Bridge of Peace Food Pantry
The Peace Center Food Pantry serves approximately 35,000 meals each year. In addition to serving about 60-80 meals each Tuesday and Wednesday at their youth and Bible Study pro- grams, the food pantry is serving those less fortunate.
As the Lenten Season is upon us, remember that we who have plenty can sacrifice for those who have less.
“…if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.” Isaiah 50:8
