Food Justice
CCR FOOD PANTRY
Food insecurity remains a huge problem in our community, only increasing since the COVID-19 pandemic and the immigration crisis. CCR members have been generously making gifts of groceries, money and time to bring healthy food to all.
The CCR FOOD PANTRY is open to guests 9:30 am - 12:00pm on Thursdays.
We are accepting donations of canned and boxed goods such as canned fruits, vegetables, beans, meats and fish, as well as pasta, cereal and rice. Also, you can use this LINK to provide funds so that the food pantry team can purchase needed staples in bulk to stretch our funds or food cards for our guests, so that they can purchase fresh items.
Please bring your donations to church on Sundays or Monday-Thursday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. If you have questions or have items to donate that you are unable to bring to the church, please contact Claudia through the church office or email foodpantry@christchurchriverdale.org. More details are available HERE on how you can contribute.
If you are unsure how you will get food this week, please contact Mother Emily Lukanich.
