Spotlight on Service: God Loves You Food Ministry!

At Pasadena Presbyterian Church, we aim to be a "sacred space for the city," and for that reason, we desire to learn about opportunities for service in Pasadena and to support and celebrate what non-profits, ministries, and charities are doing right in our midst.

For several weeks now, we've been focusing on non-profits and ministries beyond our church. But this week, we want to focus on one of our own: The God Loves You Food Ministry!

Each Sunday morning, our congregation distributes food to individuals and families who need assistance. In these difficult economic times, there is such great need in our communities for food, and as a result, food banks are struggling. The God Loves You Food Ministry receives food from these food banks, but these non-profits cannot provide as much assistance as they have in the past. For that reason, we are requesting that PPC members donate particular items which can supplement the food supply of individuals and families in the Pasadena area: rice, beans, sugar, cooking oil, bread, and produce. Baby diapers, children's clothing, paper towels, toilet paper, detergent, and bleach are all welcome also.

We also invite PPC members and individuals from wider city of Pasadena to make financial donations to this ministry. $20 can provide rice, beans, bread, and produce to a family. Donations of food and money are both welcome.

Individuals can also volunteer to set up for the food distribution on Fridays at 3pm. Our congregation is located at 585 Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA. If you would like some more information about this ministry, please contact us at (626) 793 - 2191.
