Client Choice Food Shelf

A Client Choice Food Shelf allows clients to choose what food they want based on a point value system. Different foods have different point values.  The number of points a household receives is determined by the number of people living in their homes. If a household has 5 people living in their household, they receive 50 points a month.  The food shelf is open on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.  Read more...

Breakfast and a Bag

Our goal is to provide a place where community members can come to the church for a free breakfast and leave with a bag of groceries. Volunteers from Gethsemane Lutheran Church and the community sponsor a meal, develop a menu, cook and serve the breakfast. When the family or single person from the community leaves they are offered a bag of groceries.  This wonderful community gathering happens on the Sunday after the food shelf is open.  Read more...
