Food Security Ministries
Thank you for supporting our food pantry!
Christ made it clear in His ministry that we must care for the poor, the orphan, and the widow. At Bethany we take His command seriously.
Food Distribution
In cooperation with Loaves and Fishes, the Salvation Army, and Greenwood Reformed Church, Bethany sponsors a monthly food distribution at the Salvation Army. This program will provide food to all who come. Held the fourth Wednesday of each month, volunteers are needed to prepare the food for distribution, help distribute the items, and assist the recipients in carrying the items to their cars. To volunteer or for more information, contact the church office.
Food Pantry
Bethany's oldest food ministry is a Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry founded in the early 1980's. The pantry is located in the parsonage immediately adjacent to the church on the north. Bethany feeds more than 150 families a month through the food pantry ministry. For information on receiving food from the Loaves and Fishes pantry system, contact them at (269) 343-FOOD. For more information on how you can help Bethany provide food security for our neighbors, contact the church.
In School Food Pantry
Bethany's Back Pack Buddy program has been replaced at Washington Writer's Academy with an in school food pantry sponsored by Loaves and Fishes. Bethany is providing limited support as the school explores how this concept can help them serve the students better.
