Serving State Park & Fairmont City
STATE PARK FOOD PANTRY
About Us
The State Park Food Pantry is an outreach of Alpha and Omega, and has operated for nearly 30 years. We serve low income families and individuals who live in the State Park area west of Collinsville and the Village of Fairmont City, and we love serving in this ministry!
What
Food for those in need
Clients may come to the pantry once a month, and are given meat, produce, dairy items, bakery goods, canned and frozen foods and, when available, personal care items, as a result of donations from individuals and organizations and our partnerships with Operation Food Search, the St., Louis Area Food Bank, local farmers and other sources. We serve an average of 85 to 90 families each month.
Who
Volunteer-driven
The Food Pantry is staffed by volunteers, and all donations are used for the purchase of food and operating expenses. We’ve been blessed with a building right accross the street from the church that we have renovated with donations of funds, building materials, and the labor of many volunteers. We are excited that we have moved the food pantry out of the church building and into our newly renovated building.
Why
God-centered
This ministry exists to not just give food to our clients, but to build relationships and show them the love of God. We encourage them, help them find resources they need when we can, laugh with them and even weep with them at times of loss.
