History and Mission of the Food Pantry
Our Mission
The Woodmont Baptist Church Food Pantry Ministry serves to minister to the local community by collecting and distributing supplemental food. Guests can come once a month to pick up items for their household. We strive to serve those in need with compassion, respect, and dignity as a representation of Christ’s love for us. We also aim to meet spiritual needs by offering support, encouraging words, and prayer.
Our History
The history goes back to the early years when WBC helped people out with food, but in the fall of 2010 Gaye Eichler worked to establish the first room here at the church as a Food Pantry with member donations. The S.A.L.T. Class stocked it for a year. Nell Sally along with others managed it during that time to keep order and pack bags. 2016 is the first time the Food Pantry was set aside as a ministry guided by a committee. The Food Pantry is now named in memory of Jan Regen for her dedication and service.
The Process
-
The Food Pantry is open on Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. – Noon.
-
Guests coming in for the first time complete a confidential information sheet. This streamlines subsequent visits.
-
Guests can come once a month.
-
If a guest requests prayer, someone will sit with them and talk about their concerns and pray with them.
