ESSCC Food Pantry

As you are aware, people are struggling. We would like to help our members and the community through our  ESCCC food pantry ministry. We are in  need of donations  to rebuild our pantry and freezer items. If you have non perishable items or freezer vegetables  please bring them and leave in the kitchen for sister Tina and Gloria . They will be available after church each Sunday for anyone in need of food items .  If you are aware of people in the community who may need help, have them reach out to sister  Tina so she can make arrangements  to meet them at the church.  Please pray for all of those in need during this difficult time. Thank you for any help you can give.
