SATURDAYS: Food Pantry distribution takes place on Saturday mornings from 8:30–10:30am, utilizing a drive-thru service. Volunteers are asked to donate their time once a month or more, if you are available. People can volunteer through a sign-up link. Volunteers are needed onsite at 7:45am if working inside, 8:00am if working outside, until 10:30am. We pray at 8:25am
WEEKDAYS: Tuesday through Friday, we distribute bag lunches to walk-ins as available during office hours (9:30am–4pm). We are also able to provide material support for mothers and infants in the form of diapers, wipes, clothing, and frequently larger baby items, when available.
Mobile Loaves and Fishes is a social outreach ministry to the homeless and working poor. MLF provides meals, clothes, blankets, and toiletry items to those who live on the streets and low-income housing.
“Make Ready” teams are responsible for assembling sandwiches and stocking the truck with items for the evening’s run. This would require a commitment of 1–2 hours each week from about 5:30p–7pm.
“The Truck” teams are responsible for taking the truck on the various runs and handing out the food stocked in the truck for that evening. This would require a commitment of 1–2 hours each week. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve as a family or as a ministry team.
Social Ministries receive donation items daily.
Volunteers are needed to help unload and sort these items at the Social Ministries building Monday–Friday, 9:30am–12:30pm, depending on drop-offs.
Volunteers are also needed to help pick up donations every day. If you have a van, SUV, truck, or car, please consider signing up for donation pick-ups from participating organizations and donors.

We meet every 2nd Saturday of the month from 8am-12pm. St. Louis Farm cultivates half an acre or more of St. Louis property, raising seasonal vegetables that are given to the St. Louis Food Pantry. This enables the Food Pantry to feed the neediest among us with fresh produce. Volunteers work in teams and are always needed! Green thumbs are not necessary and families are welcome!
The St. Louis Farm Ministry seeks to cultivate the land that God has entrusted to us in order to bless our brothers and sisters in need. The farm, which is located on half an acre on the St. Louis property, provides fresh produce to the St. Louis Food Pantry in our Social Ministry building.
