Outreach: Our Region
Benevolence Pantry
Everyone faces hardships from time to time. Job loss, major life events or even health issues can cause tremendous financial, as well as, emotional strain. During these difficult times, you may need encouragement and even short-term financial assistance to get you through. Our Benevolence Pantry is designed to serve those families and individuals who are in need within our area. We provide pre-made food bags that usually consist of a well-balanced assortment of food items. We always welcome donations to the Benevolence Pantry, donations can be dropped off throughout the week to the office, or on Sunday mornings right next to the Info Centre.
