Food Pantry
Our pantry is open every Thursday, 9-11 am, and on the second and fourth Wednesday 4-6 pm.
Our pantry is a wonderful outreach
Of Grace Church.
We regularly serve upwards of 500 families in an average week. Each family unit represents four people, so over 1,000 people receive a meal each week. In addition, some toiletries and more foods are passed out, depending on the supply.
Much work goes into preparing for distribution. Wednesday morning, we assemble a small crew to help unload the truck and set up. Some Wednesdays and Thursdays, the line can stretch down Third Street.
A lot of the food is donated, but the cost to our parish is still well over $1,000 a month. Our parishioners donate money, and several grants from the Episcopal Community Services Foundation and Richland County Foundation help fund our efforts to help our community.

What's next?
How you can help.
Our goal is to install a renewed pantry and neighborhood space to serve a resilient community in a post-COVID world.
Join our partners as we seek to raise $1,000,000 to renew and furnish this space to support the Mansfield Community and refresh lives for the benefit of all.
