The Food Pantry at Olivet is available for people in an effort to address food insecurity. With the rising cost of food and other challenges, many are struggling to put food on the table.
Where is the Food Pantry located?
Inside Olivet Baptist Church’s building, up the stairs, in front of the gym.
Who can access the Food Pantry?
Anyone in the building of Olivet are welcome to take what they need from the Food Pantry, from those who regularly participate in our church to someone just stopping by. Please take what you need.
What is in the Food Pantry?
Non-perishable food items and some toiletries/hygiene products.
How can I help?
Help us keep the Food Pantry stocked with non-perishable food items and toiletries/hygiene products. Here are some examples you can bring:
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Pasta and Rice
- Canned proteins (tuna, chicken, salmon, etc)
- Peanut butter
- Soup or stew (canned, dry ramen noodles)
- Cereal (granola, oatmeal, etc)
- Cooking Oil
- Dried proteins and grains (beans, lentils, quinoa, etc)
- Healthy snacks (granola bars, fruit bars, crackers, etc)
- Toiletries/Hygiene products: toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, travel size/small bottles of shampoo/conditioner, soap
- Reusable bags
Please refrain from bringing anything fresh, refrigerated or expired/past the best before date. Bring your items to the Food Pantry and either put the items in the correct spots in the storage or leave the bag for one of our volunteers to sort through.
