Food Pantry

COC runs one of the most longstanding and busiest food pantries in the area, as well as the region’s only diabetic food pantry.  Hundreds of food bags are distributed weekly to hungry families.  The food pantry has been serving the area continuously for over 20 years, staffed almost exclusively by dedicated volunteers.

16,026 Bags of food to 1150 unduplicated families.

This includes the area’s only food pantry specifically for diabetics.

Countless more lives are touched through feeding centers, health clinics, schools, and our Missions of Mercy.  Together we are spreading God's love to the world.--We need your ongoing help to continue this life changing work.  Donations are tax-deductible.
