Fresh groceries, every Tuesday.

What to Expect
Our pantry receives donations from a variety of community organizations and local ministries, so what’s available changes from week to week. We always aim to have fresh produce alongside shelf-stable staples.
Food Pantry Process

How It Works

Arrive and Check In

When you arrive, you’ll receive a number that determines your place in the shopping order. You’ll be asked for your name, the number of people in your household, and your zip code.

Wait Together

While others are shopping, guests and Grace community members gather over coffee and conversation. It’s one of our favorite parts of the morning.

Shop For Your Family

When your number is called, you’ll select from available fresh and shelf-stable groceries. Items vary each week based on donations from community organizations and local ministries.

Access Additional Resources

Toiletry kits, restrooms, and phone charging outlets are available to all guests. Nurses are sometimes on site for blood pressure checks and health questions.

Get Involved

Pick Up Food From Feeding America
Every Tuesday morning, we need a driver with a pickup truck, SUV, or van to collect our ordered food from Feeding America (3070 Shaffer Ave. SE) between 9:00–9:15 a.m. and bring it back to the church. Specifics provided by our food pantry coordinator.
Shop For Food At Aldi and Eastern Ave. CRC
Each week, a volunteer picks up fresh produce from two stops on Saturday morning — Aldi on 28th St. SE and Eastern Ave. CRC — and delivers it to Grace for storage before Tuesday. Training with an experienced volunteer is recommended for your first run.
