The Heavenly Food Pantry has food to feed your family!

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church in Essex Junction, will be distributing food to families who reside in Essex, Essex Junction and Westford on Monday, September 14, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. We welcome any and all families to join us, where we will safely provide items such as fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, soups, pasta and sauces, cereal and bread. We also provide personal hygiene products like deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo and laundry detergent! Participants may enter the distribution area through the Church St. entrance, where they will be asked to show proof of residence and identification for each family member. Food will be deposited into vehicle trunks by volunteers who will maintain social distance from persons in the car. We do ask that those visiting the pantry wear face coverings to ensure health and safety to all involved. We encourage anyone needing assistance at this time to join us! If you are unable to attend but need food help, call the church office at 878-5745 and let Pastor Josh Simon help find a way to get the food to you!

Our next food distribution is Thursday, September 24 from 2:00-6:00 p.m. There are currently no restrictions as to how many times per month families may visit.
