How you can help
Every gift of food or funds stocks shelves and strengthens neighbors.
Donate food
Non-perishable items from parishioners and community members keep the pantry full. Drop-off details are available through the church office.

Online gifts support the pantry and related outreach. Special drives (including Thrivent Action Teams and partner grants) help us do even more at holidays.

Local organizations, schools, and neighbors have held food drives that benefit GSLC. We welcome partnership—reach out to plan a drive.
Spread the word
Share pantry hours and our service-area zip codes with neighbors who may need groceries or clothing. Awareness helps the right people find us on Saturday mornings.
Need food? Want to help?
If you live in our service area and need groceries, come on a pantry Saturday. If you want to stock a shelf or give financially, we are grateful for your support.
