ABOUT OUR FOOD PANTRY
The Fairplain Presbyterian commitment to easing hunger in our community began in the 1970s with donated food in a tiny room in the back of our sanctuary. Since then we have distributed thousands of food bags to people all over our area. We now work from a large, efficient area that was a major part of our church expansion 15 years ago. Donations from church members, other churches and organizations, grants from FEMA, United Way, and local businesses support our work. The Fairplain Community Food Pantry is now a 501 c 3 organization to facilitate outside donations. Many volunteers from the congregation and community help purchase and haul groceries, stock shelves, fill bags and distribute the food throughout the year. The Food Pantry also helps supply the food we prepare for Soup Kitchen once a month.

Our food pantry does not discriminate in the provision of service against any person because of race, color, citizenship, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation including gender identity, unfavorable discharge from the military or status as a protected veteran.
